   This set has held up nicely including the cushions. My biggest issue with it is that the sofa pieces don’t attach to each other, so it isn’t really a sofa, it’s just three pieces sitting next to one another. I’m considering zip tying them together. It isn’t a lounging sofa because the low back on it keeps you from being able to really lean back.

   Cushions has very dark grey-almost black, with lighter grey lines dispersed over the fabric in one direction. Husband’s assembly advice is to place all screws in and alternate tightening them. He also had a moment of confusion with the assembly directions until he realized that the same illustration had been used twice even though the the right chair and left chair for the sofa should have been drawn as mirror images on the instruction sheet. I did have to sew my own ties on the back cushions because I don’t want to worry about them blowing away in the Colorado wind. (The seat cushions have ties on them.) I also bought covers for rainy days. Because the furniture is aluminum, it is lightweight. However, so far, we haven’t seen any movement on the deck. Looking forward to herd immunity so we can entertain our herd again!!

   Love this product!! It fits perfectly where I wanted. It is a bit small but I expected that after reading the product specs and reviews. Some of the holes don’t align perfectly for assembly but just a little elbow grease needed. I love that the pieces are not attached together so they can be taken apart for different seating arrangements. Satisfied in all!!

   I love this outdoor seating set. It perfectly suits my need for seating in a limited deck space. It’s modern, sleek, and comfortable. It’s well worth the price.

   If you’re looking for outdoor luxury, might want to skip this piece but if you want something fairly comfortable, lightweight, affordable, not a stain-magnet and you’re sick of the faux wicker outdoor furniture that’s ubiquitous, this is a great purchase. I was looking for something that’s light enough to put in the shed in the off season, didn’t need to be maintained like wood and was a dark enough color to keep me calm when my kids are on it. Furthermore, it was pretty easy to put together and comfortable enough to catch a summer nap on. The two glaring cons are that the sections need something to hold them together, like cable ties, and the cushions like to slip around which you might be able to fix with Velcro or non-slip padding underneath.

   We’ve had our set for a few days, and love it so far. It’s lightweight but fairly sturdy, and I’m very pleased with the quality for the price. The cushions look a little darker in person, which was fine with me. The style comes off as trendy/modern and comfy, and it looks great on our small patio.

   Arrived before expected. Easy to assemble. Modern look. Low profile yet comfortable. Enough room for 3 average sized adult people to sit comfortably. Highly recommend! I am buying the 4 piece set to match. (Started with a small order just in case we did not like it.)

   The furniture is very sturdy but light weight at the same time, which is very nice. Assembly was quick and easy except for the table and ottomans; those had to be lined up exactly to fit. Otherwise, they seem like they will last for a long time. The cushions are stiff, but I am hopeful that they will get softer over time.

    We ordered this set and we are very happy with it. It has a modern and low profile look just like the photo shows. The cushions are thicker and more comfortable than we expected and that was a pleasant surprise. The ottoman is great to use with one of the chairs or for a 4th seat if needed. The item was shipped in huge box and the delivery man used a dolly to bring it to the porch. It would be difficult to carry the unopened box without assistance, but once unpacked each item can be moved and assembled with just one person.

    very nice proportions. cushions are dark but pretty material. much cheaper than a similar style i saw at Restoration Hardware. Let’s see how it holds up.

    I really love this set. Its very sleek and modern looking!! The chaise is the most comfy part, but the other seats are not bad either.. Assembly was super easy as well, it is a one person job. Not sure on durability yet as we have only had it for a week. But I am going to spray ours with scotch guard to make sure it stays looking new! I will update with photo later on

    Bought this outdoor set as it had good reviews from people actually keeping them in the elements and not just in a covered patio. They have been great keeping them outside with the water resistant cushions and aluminum which won’t rust. It was easy to put together and took maybe an hour. If you’re looking for an outdoor set that will be fine to keep outside without spending a ton, this is a great set. It looks pretty basic but throw a couple pillows and you’re set. The only thing that would make the set better would be ties for the back cushions. You’ll need to use command strips or Velcro to keep them attached to the frame, whereas the bottom cushions do tie to the frame and will be fine with stronger wind.

    Assembly was very easy. I put it together with a 4 piece set for a great modern look. The cushions are good quality. I like the dark gray color and with my added green and blue cushions, it looks great by the pool. The set sat out all summer and it looks as new as when I got it. I would highly suggest this set. Light but doesn’t get blown over by strong winds.

    Was a bit skeptical buying patio furniture online but i was very impressed with this purchase. It is true to photos in every sense with color, size and looks. Everything came in one big box that wasn’t too difficult to move on my own. The directions were incredibly simple and organized. Each pieces directions came in a separate bag with zero missing pieces. The only reason why I am giving this a 4 star are hard, making it a bit uncomfortable for sitting on this for a long period of time, with that being said they are very durable and should last in the south florida weather.

    Lightweight furniture took moderate effort and time to assemble. Easy to move when I want to assemble in different configurations. Looks really good. Cushions are a bit still but if I add decorative cushions it is perfect. I love the smaller size, perfect for me as I am only 5″”2″”. Looks like I paid more.

    Great arrangement for my side porch. Would have been 5 stars except for the cushion on the footstool portion slips out of place. I fixed it with heavy duty velcro strips on all 4 sides.

    Ruiz – December 27, 2018

    Love the look! Exactly as pictured, fits great on my patio and i bought the matching set of chairs so all together, seamless. I have it paired with a concrete-look gas fire pit and it keeps everything looking clean and modern. The only thing I will say i don’t love, the cushions are not very soft. Clean easily but i will likely have to add some more comfy pillows.

    We like the simple lines/ modern feel. It reads as small in our space– so would be perfect for a smaller porch/ balcony (if the measurements make sense), because it’s a petite set. That is the positive– that it has a smaller sectional feel so it offers more seating without the large footprint. The cushions have to be tied into place to stay put, but we really prefer it to the wicker/basket weave that is so prevalent, so will be keeping it.

    Furniture is very nice. Went together with a breeze. Great product for the cost. It’s a little light but it’s expected. Cushions and frame are pretty much black.

    I love this patio sofa and coffee table! It is lightweight aluminum so it is easy to move. The cushions are a good quality & water resistant.

    Purchased to match our four piece chair set and absolutely love it all. It’s very dark like pictured but we like the dark color. Haven’t had them long enough to see if they fade

    Just received this set and it is nicely sized for a small back porch. Note the size as it is a smaller sized set. I prefer the dark gray cushions which were more difficult to locate. The set is light weight, but looks substantial. I like the look of this set over the wicker style as it will last much longer. Also note, there are no throw pillows included. Very happy with how it turned out as it’s always such a big gamble to order things online never having seen it. I wish I could add to the set with individual pieces but they only come as full sets.

    I was disappointed with how lightweight the frame is. If it was kept outside it would be blown over all the time. It is comfortable. It is perfect for a smaller space.
