I bought this set for our back patio after a whole lot of searching. A few things I wish I had been aware of.. It takes a while to assemble as everything is in separate pieces. It also appears to be taller in pictures than it is in person. The seats are lower to the ground than I expected. I was initially pretty disappointed because I wanted something larger. However the set has grown on me and its perfect for what I had in mind. The quality is o.k. I have realized you have to spend 1000 to have a REALLY nice set.
