The set has worked out very well on my screened in porch. It is very comfortable and holding up to the rain that blows in to the porch. I have enjoyed hanging out using the chaise or lounging on the sofa. i was easy to put together. The tool could have been better to decrease the repetitive placements for tightening. I would recommend.
I hesitated for weeks over buying this outdoor sectional due to the mixed reviews. My main concerns were the reviews slamming the set for being so poorly made that it was extremely difficult to put together and those complaining about the shipping. I am glad I took the chance and ordered it, as neither critiques were valid on the set I received.
First, a lot of people complained about how long shipping took and that when it was received, only part of the set was received. I dont know if the seller changed the way they ship these, but in my case, the sectional shipped from a warehouse in Georgia via FedEx, and it was received earlier than promised. Yes, it was received in 2 separate deliveries 2 days apart, but the box clearly stated that it was being shipped in multiple shipments. Also, I contacted the seller after receiving the 1st box, and was advised in less than 12 hours that the 2nd box had also shipped and was given the tracking info. A+ for customer service.
Next, with regard to those complaining about how difficult it was to put together, that was not my experience. It was pretty straightforward with the pieces assembling with a bolts and an Allen wrench. Yes, such a wrench is annoying to use, but given the design of the furniture, there is no other way to design it so that it can be flat/packed for shipment and then assembled. For those complaining that the parts did not line up, I suspect that the problem for most of them was user error. When you are assembling any furniture, you NEVER tighten the screws until the entire piece is assembled. Then, you go back and tighten everything up. This allows you to have enough movement to start all of the fasteners in their holes. If you tighten each screw as you go, then there is not enough flex to get the screws in on other sides of the piece.
As to the quality of the sectional itself, I have to agree with other reviews that for the price, it is absolutely a 5/star product. Does it compare to a 2,000 set that you would buy at a high/end store? Of course not. But this only costs about 400. For that price, the quality is great. The set looks beautiful. The cushions are a little thinner and not as firm as I would like, but excellent for the price. It is comfortable enough. The only cons are: (1) the height, and (2) the movement. Specifically, the seats are a little too low at about 12 before adding the cushions. I plan to address this issue by adding wooden (risers) feet to each piece to raise the seat up about 3. As for the movement, this is pretty common with all sectionals. I note that sells clips separately to clip the pieces together. The clips are not expensive, and I will buy a set. But, I think they should be included in these sets (although this is true for all of these sets).
As for durability, I cant really say as I have only had the set for week or so. We do not leave the cushions out in the weather as a general rule. If we arent using them, we put the cushions away in the house or in a deck box. The resin wicker seems okay. We will keep the set under a pop/up canopy and put it in the shed for the winter, so hopefully it will last a while. From past experience, these outdoor wicker sets generally last 3/6 years, as the resin tends to break down in the sun/weather. But, again, for the price, I cant complain, and I dont expect it to last forever. The frame is all metal, and seems sturdy.
Overall, my wife and I are very happy with this purchase. It is a great value, and the seller did a great job of shipping it quickly and responding to questions.
It was easy to assemble. But the material was just a little on the lightweight side cushions were awesome extremely soft. They couldve been a little stiffer. The system to use the hook the cushion into the chair is not good. Overall theyre OK but not made for people over 200 pounds
Little cheap for the money but overall not bad. Some of the craftsmanship is lackluster and hard wear is cheap and easy to strip. 250 would be a more realistic price for this.
Very nice for the price. Easy to assemble, but it does take time. Ill probably add wood block feet to raise it up a couple of inches. Overall very happy with this furniture.
Love this product but only after having it for less than a week the glass on the coffee table broke. It was only held on by suction cups they did not hold it well when it was moved. Other than that its a great piece we love it.

Little cheap for the money but overall not bad. Some of the craftsmanship is lackluster and hard wear is cheap and easy to strip. 250 would be a more realistic price for this.
