Love the set. All pieces seem to be very sturdy. No problem putting together. Well packaged and all parts included. The fabric is sturdy and looks like it would wash well even thought have not had to do so yet. The seat cushions are thick and sturdy. Back cushions are softer which is appropriate for sitting comfort. It's not the most expensive looking set but it's well worth the price paid. I am very pleased and have spent many hours sitting on it in my sun room.
