The good - the set looks very nice and the cushions are very good quality. The bad - is not easy to assemble and the entire set is held together by small bolts. I though that it would not possibly hold up to sitting, but once fully assembled, it does seem to be very stable! We will see how it holds up over time. The feet are cheap plastic and represented the toughest challenge in assembly. This could definitely be engineered better. Solid wood or more solid plastic feet would not be too much to ask for at this price point. However, the set is much comfier than it looks and I am quite pleased with the purchase. I highly recommend paying for assembly if you can afford the time and cost. I listened to an entire audio book while assembling this set....almost 8 hours. On a positive note, I'm ready for book club!
