For the price, this piece is decent. Pros: It was relatively simple to put together and the furniture seems to be sturdy. The chairs are deep (good for lounging), and the cushions are pretty thick and comfortable. Cons: My biggest complaint is that the "beige" color is much more yellowy, cream-colored than it appears in the photo and two of the cushion/pillow colors are a different shade from the other four so it looks a bit awkward. We can live with it, and are hopeful that the sun will help bleach out any of the differences eventually. This set was $900 less than another set we were looking at so you get what you pay for, as they say. Unfortunately, the set arrived damaged, but we know that's no fault of the manufacturer - just a shipping mishap.
