I looked at many many sets of outdoor furniture and this one had the best reviews and the nicest look with the boxed cushions with white piping. The cushions are a weatherproof fabric so a little scratchy but best for outside as you can brush off anything that may blow onto them easily. The set was a little challenging to assemble by myself but using my own tools made it easy and all the pieces came with their own card with the correct amount of bolts and washers needed. The sofa looks like a million bucks and we couldn't be happier with our purchase! Thanks Joss and Main!
