This outdoor sofa set has transformed my home. I live in a condo with a back deck and could not truly enjoy the deck until this patio set arrived. The assembly was incredibly easy, the wood is a beautiful color and I still cannot get over the fact that this wood is real hard wood and yet the set was under $400. I have gotten so many compliments on this set already, and I have only had it for 3 days. I have spent 2 out of the three days lounging on my deck, happy as can be! :) I recommend this set to anyone looking for a gorgeous patio set on a budget.
