Better than I expected.  While we hate putting together the furniture, for the price it is a minor consolation.  Especially since it went together quite quickly & easily - instructions and all pieces were easy.  This set is comfortable but for long-term sitting, it does require better cushions and cushions on the backs of the sofa & chairs.  We plan to replace the cushions that came with the pieces because they are just not real comfortable, and they came in only one color - white!  Gets dirty way too quickly and it doesn't allow us to add the color we want for the decor's ambiance.  Beautiful and looks like it costs much more than it did - great value for the price!
