I was leary of buying this but it is a fantastic piece. I bought this along wth the love seat, coffee table, and 2 end tables. It looks great in my backyard and the pillow height (for back) is adequate. The pillows are comfortable and I love that I have the choice between 2 covers. I will say you need to keep the cushions dry because they will hold a lot of water if they get wet. We bring our covers in or cover with a tarp for now when needed. Everyone compliments this piece and it's comfortable. I love it!
