I wanted a nice little set to put around a small gas firepit and this was perfect. I'm a lil on the plus side and hate when chair arms dig into my thighs and this set was so roomy & nice, very comfortable. The assemble was pretty easy, hardest part was lining up the srew holes perfectly but after we figured out the first chair, the others went smooth. The cushions do hold a lot of water if it gets rained on, we just set them up afterwards and let then drain & drip dry. Great value for a comfortable patio set.
