Sturdy aluminum construction underlying the woven wicker. Sunbrella fabric on the cushion covers. Those features separate well made outdoor furniture from cheap knock-offs that last only a season or two. Contemporary design. Generous pillow allotment. Not difficult to assemble IF you read the directions completely first. Only issue we had was that the first shipment was missing the side table, but Wayfair took care of that very quickly. Great price and quality!
