We have a small open space in our backyard adjacent to a Koi pond and I was looking for something "petite" and affordable as our first conversation set. This was the perfect fit! Like the other reviews, it was a bit of a challenge to put together and my husband ended up using some of his own stuff to put the furniture together but once it was complete the set was beautiful. I just wish they sold individual pieces so that I can purchase more single chairs. The cushions are slim, but that's an easy fix. Overall they're pretty nice to sit on a warm afternoon!
