Lightweight, easy to position, assembly required only on the 4 legs of the coffee table (using included bolts, washers and alan wrench, this was very easy.) It rained the day after I installed it and it was dry enough to sit on by the next day. In the first photo are a rug, 2 white coffee tablecoolers, umbrella and stand and a covered gas fireplace not included in the set. In the 2nd photo are people! I am on the far right and am 6’7”, my blonde wife is 5’10”, my brunette friend is 5’4”, and her purple beshirted husband is 6’5” for scale. All fit with legroom to spare and loved it! Cushions are comfortably firm but they do not attach to the metal furniture, armrests are real wood. 6 straps are provided to attach metal pieces together beneath the cushions so it all stays together. You will be left with 4 very large cardboard boxes, perfect for kids if you have them, and a LOT of waste packaging.

Absolutely love this couch! It’s the perfect additional to our patio. It’s comfortable and very roomy- accommodates many adults comfortably.
