The furniture itself is quite sturdy, but the cushions are awful. There's three parts to the cushion: the outer cover, inner lining, and stuffing. The outer cover is great (we got navy blue). After a few weeks, the inner lining started to break down and deteriorate. When it breaks down, it turns into this dust-like material that gets all tangled in the stuffing and rises to the surface onto the navy cover. It's almost like sand, and it's happening on every single one of the cushions.
