The quality is not what you expect for an outdoor set. The frame is made of hollow aluminum and as you can see by my photos, the attaching pieces are made of plastic which is fine, however l, they are not straight so contact is not made on all sides making the seal not airtight which means water will get in and rust the aluminum. I added another photo of a part that was supplied to assemble, as you can imagine the frustration incurred when trying to use a screw that has no possible way to use it because the centre wasnt stamped out properly. I hope that makes sense because it is important. I do like the overall simple style. I find the backs are a bit low. The bottom cushions seem super sturdy. Worth noting that they have texture on one side of the cushion so you can't flip them over. This was supposed to be the centerpiece of my backyard, I wanted to be more excited about this than I am.
