I love the look and proportions of the furniture. The cushions and pillows are a little thin. We haven’t had a season with it outdoors yet to determine how it holds up. I’m a skilled and tool savvy person. With that said, I’m glad I had the power tools for assembly and didn’t rely on the provided hand wrenches. The gaps for the hardware are very tight. I had a few prefabricated issues with alignment and threading, but nothing that required returns or refunds. I also want to mention the 5 STAR customer service from a first time buyer.
