I loved this set so much I bought a whole second set! Like others have mentioned there are no ties on the cushions to secure them and the seat cushions are a bit firm but I think they’re about right, you don’t want to sink down and you don’t want them to be thin and worn down so quickly.  Plus the back cushions are comfy and not as firm. Putting together was simple and straightforward - just make sure you don’t tighten the screws until the end. I wish they had the option to purchase covers that fit as well as the option to purchase additional pieces from the set without needing to buy a whole new set like I did. But honestly I love the look of two of them and we can fit so many friends around it now!
