I’ve only had this set out for a few days but I love it. I was very reluctant to spend this much on something and not be able to try it    out first.  Pros.. cushions are thick and comfortable. It sits pretty high very easy to get up (for older folks with back problems, like me). Pieces are very light and easy to move around. Each piece came completely put together in 10 very large boxes. My husband said he would put it together when he got home, but I was able to unpack everything on my own. You do have to change out the pillow covers (no big deal). You will need to buy the clamps to hold the pieces together. So far I love this set. I do have it under a covered patio but can still get some sun and water, so we will see how it last over the years.
