I purchased this set in a rush because I was hosting our home warming party and although I ordered it without much time, the items came on the date they promised. These particular items came from CA so it did take some time but they do tell you that when you are placing your order. My guests were comfortable in these chairs but I do see what people say about the cushions sliding. It's not terribly bad but it is somewhat of an inconvenience but nothing that would make be regret the purchase. I love the way this set looks in my pool patio and can see much use of them. Living in Florida outdoor hosting by the pool is normal and this set hit the mark.
