I submitted a negative review of this set because it arrived with the wrong color cushions. I want to set the story straight. Since my negative review, which I regret posting, the manufacturer has contacted me and made the problem right. The customer service was excellent. This is a sturdy set of furniture. It did take some time to assemble, but we did not have any problems with the holes lining up, as I read in some reviews. This is made of a rattan material, which is flexible, so we found it easy to line up the holes. All hardware was sent, and it really looks beautiful on our porch. It arrived in one box, which amazed us that everything was packed so well. I would definitely buy from this vendor again. As a matter of fact, we are thinking of buying a second set in the spring for our deck.
I love my little patio set. I read about assembly issues however when putting this to gather if you put ALL screws in only as tight as you can screw them with your fingers then go back and tighten them everything lines up fine. I learned that putting other things together. It is comfy enough but I I definately recommend back pillows. It will not last a life time but I'm sure I'll get a couple years from it and for $200 that's what I expected. It is a nice size. My husband is a bigger guy and he likes it and has no problems using it and being comfortable. I am little fluffy too and it suits me fine. The couch is small. My husband and I can sit next to each other though so it's not that small. This has become our morning coffee and devo area. We love it. It came in 1 box. I had it together by myself with only the hardware it came with in 1.5hrs.
Very nice set for the money. Completed my backyard setup with my fire table
