This outdoor patio set is lovely and quite comfortable. We sit on this with and without the cushions pending the summer rain storms. It feels sturdy and with the cushions it's a nice looking set on my darker stained porch. I'm hoping it'll last for a while and the cushions can be easily cleaned over the years (I've only had this for about a month). Totally worth the money (so far) and I may be purchasing an additional chair or another loveseat.
