This is a great outdoor set. It's comfortable and provides a lot of seating when we have guests over. It also makes our backyard look like a fancy lounge area. I like the deep, low seated cushions because it feels intimate when we have parties where people want to talk and socialize. The set doesn't get the full five stars only because of the frantic hassle of storing all the cushions away when it suddenly starts raining. If we had a covered patio then we wouldn't have to be so concerned about protecting the cushions from the weather. We have had the set for about 8 months now.  The wicker part has been in the sun and rain and still looks great. No damage,  discoloration or rust noted.   I feel like it was a great purchase and worth the money we paid for.
