Everything looks better in pictures. The wicker seems fine and for the price point and size it totally works. The cushions are a bust. They are so thin and very cheap! We will definitely need to buy cushions for this set. The back cushions won’t stay up snd due to the erect back- (no slant )the back cushion is so flimsy it won’t even stay standing up. New cushions and covers will cost prob more than the set itself. Which I could have just bought something else.
