This set is beautiful. I got the brown, and it is a little darker than in the pictures. It doesn't have that shiny look of cheaper wicker furniture. It seems high quality and durable, and I expect it will last a long time. Assembly took a while but wasn't hard (basically it is just screwing on the legs to everything). The seats are spacious and comfy, and it is even comfortable without the back cushions if one wants an extra deep seat. I'm very happy with this purchase.
