This set is as nice as it looks. Assembly took a little time but overall not too bad - maybe 2-3 hours for the whole thing. A couple of screws were kind of tight and took some effort. I liked the white cushions but they didn't stay white for long, as I suspected would happen. They also hold water like sponges so they took forever to dry after a heavy rain. I ended up going to a local home and garden store and buying different cushions to replace the ones that came with the set. Given what I paid for the set, it was still a good deal overall. It looks great with the new cushions and it is perfect for our 4 
-person business for breaks and lunch outside when desired.

Pros: Very nice wood furniture set for the money
Cons: cushions were not practical
