First of all, I appreciate the fair price on this set.  You truly get a lot of seating/pieces for the money.  The shipping was impressive, only 4 large boxes, cleverly packed.  We just put it out yesterday and it fills our large patio really well.  As I had read in another review, the couch pieces are a little small for larger people, but not terrible small.  The individual chairs are good size!  The cushions are very firm, which is what you want initially.  We'll see how they wear.  At this point, it's new and we're so happy with it!  Hopefully it will age well  if we take good care.
