This is a set that does have its limitations. If you are very tall or overweight, you might want to pass. It's perfect for me though. The seating is low (which I like) and it is deep. It doesn't feel it could support anyone over200 lbs though. The support just isn't there. The cushions are cheap and I will most definitely replace them, but the overall construction is passable. It does feel it will wear for a few years. The price is good for what you are getting. The directions totally sucked. If you are inclined to putting things together, you will be okay. Otherwise, you might get a bit frustrated. Once II get new cushions, I will feel that I have a good product. This is an iffy purchase. I'm okay for the most part.

Edited to add.........I just purchased an entire set of cushions for this set. The ones that came with it are horrific. The seating themselves are fairly standard, but without good cushions these chairs will fall apart. I spent way more than the set for cushions. But so worth it. So ripped off.

I love the bold black color it definitely complimented my area rug and umbrella so well! The ivory cushions are beautiful, I disliked that they flatten out pretty quickly though and are hard to keep clean - luckily they do have zippers so you can take them off to wash. It was pretty easy to install it came with all the pieces and screws needed to assemble it took about 1 hour. It is how ever a little smaller in person then it appears in pictures. I wouldn’t recommended this for heavier people looking for a patio set, max 260lbs I would say and that’s pushing it. It’s wicker so over time I’m sure it will unravel however living in CT I will only have it out for a few months so it should last a few years. If you are someone who plans to keep this out all year long this might not be the best patio set for you since it probably won’t last as long. Bottom line nothing is perfect for the price you definitely get a good deal considering some similar patio sets go for $500+. Overall I am very happy with this purchase and would buy again!

I was worried this set would be too small, cheaply made and that I would never be able to put it together because of the bad instructions... The size of this set is similar to a set I looked at in Target for a fraction of the price, I think it's a nice size but the loves seat is just that, a two person seating chair (which I had hoped would fit maybe 3 but won't). And I was trying to be somewhat realistic with myself with the size but I do wish that was a three seater. The cushions are thinner but they are still comfortable. They are light weight chairs that are water proof and sturdy. And I'm most excited that the directions while not detailed where easy once I separated all the screws and pieces into piles of what goes with what... The boxes separated the single chairs from the loveseat. so I kept as is, and didn't confuse the pieces. Also, the table has suction cups to hold the glass table top on, which I believe is a nice bonus. I was clearing my day schedule to put this together but found it only took me 1 1/2 hr. (Yes, it was just me that put it together). Honestly I think this set is a very nice set I had bought a few throw pillows and a gas fire pit for the deck and it looks incredible with this set... I'm super happy...

Update: 2 years after I bought this set. All is well EXCEPT THE TABLE. We assume that the suns direct light reflecting off of the glass top is possibly causing more heat on the faux wicker because it started breaking towards the end of last year. Everything else is perfect.

Make no mistake. This set is a bear to put together. It took me four hours. Note: I have no great proclivities toward nor do I embrace assembly of any kind (well maybe with friends, but you catch my drift). Once I got the first chair put together everything else was pretty easy. Just took a while. Now that the set is together, I absolutely love it. It looks marvelous on my small deck. I needed a set that wasn't too big, but would feel like a little retreat. This is the set. Cannot beat the set for the price. Worth all 4 hours of assembly.

So putting this thing together took some time. The directions are not super clear. IKEA directions are better. I would suggest that they put stickers on the parts to make it a little easier. Also wish they would have provided additional screws as 1 of them stripped, but that was my fault. Big suggestion when putting this together, is try to only finger tight the bolts in, which will give you some room to manuever the other screws into place as it may be a tight squeeze and you may not get them to line up and possibly strip them so little tidbit and caution to those putting this set together. It truly is a beautiful looking set. I love the color and the size. It fits in my patio just right. Please be aware as well, that this Rattan is not wood, but rather appears to be a synthetic weather resistant material, that really gives that great appearance of Rattan, but seems like this will really withstand the outdoors. The cushions are comfortable and fit just right. We decided not to place the glass on the table as we have kids that like to climb on everything and worry about the glass breaking. Maybe when they get a little older, we can place it on there. The glass is tempered and fits the table rather nicely, there are little suction cups to keep the glass in place as well. All in all, we are very pleased with this set and truly hope that it will last us a good amount of time. It's not a huge set like others out there and for our purposes really set's up nice in our patio.

Again take your time putting this set together and another suggestion is to lay out all the bolts out. Note: the smaller bolts are for the table, the longer bolts are for the loveseat and the chairs.

I was fortunate enough to receive this set at a discount in exchange for my honest review. I hope I have helped in your purchasing decision. as well as given some helpful hints at putting it together.
