For the price, this set is a winner. I have friends that have the $10,000 outdoor sets and you notice the difference in terms of sturdiness and comfort. That said, for the price, this set is a big winner. It looks great. It's reasonably comfortable. It came packaged impeccably. It took a while to put together but not because it was hard. I just did it myself over a couple of days. A few pieces at a time. The parts fit together pretty easily and it's not complicated. Easily sit 5 big people. 6 would work. I lied down the first night and fell asleep outside. Overall I'm very happy. If you're looking for a nice set that's modern and clean looking without breaking the bank, don't hesitate. This is a solid buy.
