Just got this today and let me say that I'm impressed with the packaging. It was so well put together to keep the pillows nice and fluffy, not flat or crushed. Great work! Very easy to put together. Took me 2 minutes. It is a great size.... I'm actually keeping it in my Living Area until it gets warm enough to move it to my outside patio. The material is GREAT! It isn't SOLID grey, but it's got a bit of a cool looking checkered pattern on it. Looks EXPENSIVE and I prefer the pattern that's on it more than solid grey. Despite the woven pattern, it appears solid grey. And when you look up close, it looks TERRIFIC. All in all, great purchase!
