Great piece of furniture. It is a definite upgrade for us. The cushions are thin as others have listed, but I don't find it uncomfortable. It was easy to put together, but took 3 hours just because there were 51 bolts! The main reason for 4 rating instead of the 5 was that the table didn't go together squarely, so the latch doesn't hold very well. The liner also doesn't seem to fit quite right (sown a little crooked). For the money, though, I'd buy again.
