I really like this furniture! We got it earlier this week and have used it everyday. The cushions are thinner, but I feel the padding is pretty dense and that makes it comfortable. It appears well made from all I can tell. The pillows are kind of flimsy, and even though the picture shows four, the set comes with two.
 As so many others have mentioned, the directions aren’t great and putting the furniture together is not the easiest. I’d STRONGLY recommend putting the legs on first, although the directions do not say to do so. I learned the hard way after putting legs on last on the first chair I put together. Also, having better tools than those provided, made a huge difference.
