This is the perfect solution to wanting a comfortable place to sit while you eat. The table is a little smaller than I had hoped for but over all it will work just fine. The cushions are not super soft like the outdoor couch we had but I think it will be fine as hopefully they will not soak up water as much. My only major concern is the glass top- It only has tiny suction cups to hold it on from underneath, but they don't even stick to the top. My husband is going to silicon the glass top on. Would I purchase again? Yes.
