I've answered a couple of individual questions for this product that I decided to post an actual review. :)
The quick answer is, I love this sectional. My family loves it and our friends love it. We've had it for two months now and have already spent much of the summer outdoors.
A few quick things...the cushions are fantastic! We're in the mountains so we have lots of birds... Any aerial bombs come right off and they're easy to brush clean.
If you purchase, remember to buy the clips to hold the individual chairs together. Because it's made of wicker, the chairs are very light and move around a lot when sitting down or getting up. A safety hazard without the clips for sure!
The cushions fade slightly in direct sun but they dry quickly after a rain.
My only dislike is the absence of arm rests on the end pieces. The cushions slide around a lot without the arm rests to hold them in place. However, it would not dissuade me from buying this product again.
It's sturdy and durable and has held up so far with much use from our boisterous family of six.
Come winter, we'll stow it away to save it from our usual 4+ feet of snow. Because it's so light I could easily do this on my own without the hubs help in 15 minutes or less...
It's easy to move even with each piece clipped together but hasn't budged an inch with some of our 25+ mph wind gusts.
The comfy factor should be noted. We've sat for about four hours at one time and although not "sink in plushy" it wasn't uncomfortable to stand up afterward. I would recommend buying some throw pillows for guests to use behind their backs.
Okay...I've tried to think of everything. Hope this helps in your purchasing decisions.

It is a very nice set, but buyer beware! We are trying to return this purchase as my dad was the one who thought it would work for his needs. He is 72 years old, and can't get up from the seat because it sits very low to the ground. Now we are fighting with the company to get it returned. They say, "Here's a shipping label," and it isn't prepaid. Want to know how much it costs to return? $288 A BOX! Multiply that times 3 and you get $864 to pay in return shipping costs... when the set was only $699 and tax. I will only change this rating if they help get this set back to them at a lower or no cost to us.

A great furniture buy! We looked EVERYWHERE for patio furniture. We were willing to spend quite a bit more for a quality set, but had trouble finding something we liked at Lowe's, Crate and Barrel, etc. Read the reviews and decided to take a chance on this set. We are very happy we did! The set is perfect for our family, was easy to put together and looks really good!

- The set arrives in two large, heavy boxes. Ours were well packed with no damage.
- Putting it together is really easy:
- Take everything out of the boxes and organize the pieces by design. There are only a few different types of pieces, so it's easy to understand what to do when you're organized. It's kind of overwhelming if you're hunting piece by piece as you build. Toss out all of the trash right away for a clean work space. It filled up our recycle bin twice. The unwrapping process took a good 30 minutes.
- The instructions areeasy to follow, and there are only two types of screws. We opened all of the screws and put them in two different bowls to make it easy to find what we needed quickly.
- Start with the table so you get a feel for how to assemble the pieces; it's the easiest. Then do the 4 regular chairs. Finish with the two arm chairs.
- We didn't like the tools provided, so used a larger wrench and a hex key. It made the process a bit faster.
- Be prepared to spend 3-4 hours putting the set together. Each piece is easy to assemble, just a lot of twisting of screws. It's more monotonous than anything. I put on a show while the kids were in bed and the husband and I assembled throughout an entire evening.
- When you assemble each item, put each piece into place without screwing very tightly. It's much easier to get a nice fit if you tighten all screws once all pieces are in place.
- Absolutely get the Do4U Set of 10 Outdoor Patio Wicker Furniture Alignment Sofa Rattan Chair Sofa Fasteners Clip Sectional Connector - non slip (Medium(2.135 inches). Without these clips, the kids kept pushing the chairs apart. It took about 5 minutes to add the clips and the chairs haven't moved since.
- We decided not to add velcro to the pillows, but the upper pillows occasionally fall down when the kids jump on the sectional.
- It's rained lightly a few times since we purchased the set, and the cushions look perfect the next day. We'll probably bring them inside if there is a heavy storm, but the cushions appear to hold up well to moisture.
- The set comes with two red accent pillows. The color is really bold, so you'll need a thick pillow cover if you opt for something else. We found a good deal on pillows at Steinmart.com and used those instead.
- We found almost perfectly coordinating side tables/storage bins at Target. Lowe's also had some good options.
- The table is really low. We've used it for wine/cheese evenings on the patio, but it failed to work for eating a meal.

Enjoy!!

I decided to order this set in spite of all the negative reviews. I figured since it will be under a covered patio and not really exposed to the elements, it would be a great set. First, I only received one box C box. I contacted FedEx and they have no other boxes. Tried to contact amazon on several occasions with no luck. I decided to open up the box, and it was an obvious return. The bottom of the pieces are all scratched up with dirt. The top part is all covered with red and blue marker/crayon marks. One of the pieces the cheap plastic faux wicker/rattan is coming apart. The under part of the seating area has absolutely no support but rather just twisted pieces of plastic going across no rods for support. Again this must be a return as no pieces go together and have some missing parts. Only 2 cushions were in the box.

The quality is NOT great, very cheap plastic...VERY!!
Cushions are cheap plastic...hard to explain more like a lining material covering.

Trust me....DO NOT BUY this set...very very very cheap quality. No, it’s not you get what you pay...almost $700 is not chump change.

Not real rattan/wicker
Thin plastic painted to simulate a wicker/rattan look.

I pulled one of the plastic broken pieces in the box and I easily stretched it with no problem...

Total scam.
