We live in FL where it rains quite a bit, so this had to fit completely under the covered portion of our porch/lanai space. Because of all the configuration possibilities we were able to fit it under no problem, and still have other possible configurations. It's a sturdy set and very attractive. It came well packaged and each block was already assembled. I like that it's low so that it doesn't obstruct my sight lines to the pool when I'm inside. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the clips still allow for gaps between the blocks and I find myself realigning the blocks after we've sat on them. 

Pros: multiple configurations
Cons: shifting blocks
