This set is definitely more comfortable than similarly priced sets in the stores I checked at first.  The cushions are thicker and better quality, however the wicker itself is just ok.  I put it together last night and already noticed some areas where it was coming apart.  Color is more of a mix between brown and gray.  Looks nice on the patio, but it sure did take a long time to assemble!  I also wish the back was a bit higher, but that seems to be the standard for most patio sets.
