Good quality pieces.  They are a bit smaller than expected and definitely make you sit upright.  The cushions are a bit thin, but can easily be replaced.  Assembly was beginner-moderate level, understanding I don't really even know how to use a wrench.  Overall, we are very happy with this purchase.  This will be the second warm season they have been in use.  Although they sit under a covered patio, they show no signs of wear as of now.  They have very sturdy shells and are comfortable especially when used with a leg rest.  Great for backyard cookouts and evening sunset wathcing!
