Haven't really used this set yet as we're still waiting for our patio to be finished.  But it went together nicely once we got into a rhythm.  It is a smaller set, which I know some reviews have said was a negative.  But it seems solid and is a good fit for what we need.  I knew it came with only the seat cushions, but for the price of the set, we couldn't ask for more.  I think we will enjoy this set. We give it 4 stars because it isn't as comfy as we would like.
