Just gorgeous! Very sturdy and easy to assemble. As others noted, comes in one big box with only legs to put on. Cushions or firm. Looks very high end. Worth every dime at this point. Will weather proof the Cushions and oil the wood. For area..this is a 6x8 balcony...we have a long balcony with 2 6x8 sides and this is on one end. This configuration was best.
