We absolutely LOVE this sectional. It arrived 4 days early, one box was damaged but it was packaged well so the furniture was fine. The wicker (purchased brown)is thin but appears durable. Cushions are light gray and a little scratchy but that is to be expected for outdoor use. I added a photo of the cushion so you could zoom in for a better view. I agree with the gentleman that said to assemble the clips in the upright position and lower it down. It took two if us for that part but it definitely worked best. Spending this much online is scary, but I am happy I did it.
