We absolutely love the set.  So comfortable, love that when you order a colour that you also get the beige covers.  As others mentioned, the top of the coffee table is open slats so if in an uncovered area whatever is stored in there would get wet.  Not a negative for us because its in a covered area.  The only thing we would warn people is that it is shipped overground from California so it took an incredibly long time to arrive in Florida without any realistic timing date (it just kept moving out).  We didn't take a star off for this because maybe we should have known this .. Just wanted to let others know to not think it was coming quickly.  We think it was well worth the wait though
