The value for this price point seems accurate. Definitely not high end quality materials or cushions (very thin) used for this set. Took some strong arming to assemble the pieces due to hardware not aligning (off center). Consider this a ‘starter patio set’ and know that although the scale and strength will work for us since we are not overweight nor tall people. Hope these small scale pieces hold up and will work for our larger and taller guests. Compact shipped in a single box. Although there was damage to the box everything inside was intact.
