Fantastic patio set.  We purchased when on sale ($590) and were surprised by the sturdiness of the table and chairs and the quality of the cushions.  The cushions are more grey tone than in the picture. I think there was some confusion about whether there is an umbrella opening or not but it definitely has a place in the center to place umbrella.  Its now gone through one New England winter outside (albeit a milder one) and still looks great!
