This was the first piece of furnature my husband and I purchased for our fixer upper home. I needed a place to escape when the renovations got to hectic. This set is wonderful and am so happy with the purchase! It allows my husband and I to get away and almost feel like we are on vacation! This set is beautiful and super comfy. I did not help with the set up but it took my husband no time at all to assemble. It looks much nicer in person and even elegant I would say. My mom sat on the chair without the cushion and fell asleep within 10 minutes and stayed asleep even with all the renovation noise. Talk about comfortable!
