The base of the set is really, really pretty. I love the x detail and I feel like they will stand up to weather being under a covered porch. It fits perfectly in the spot where it went. However, the seats are so hard. There is no give in the cushions and to me not something I want to lounge on. In fact, I've sat out there twice in the two weeks I've had it. Had I not thrown away my original packaging I would of returned this found something more comfortable. I'm now having new cushions made for it. For the price and how the size is perfect, after comparing to other outdoor furniture it will still end up an affordable set.
