Look, its less than four hundred freaking dollars, okay - and for that price, its a great set
I waited several months before writing this review. The disclaimer here is that yes, I live in SWFL and NO, this is not outside all the way in the elements: its on my lanai (covered patio/Florida room/sunroom for those of you in other parts of the world who have no idea what a lanai is).
I have no idea how well this would hold up if I put it outside in the elements. I have a different set (metal that looks like wood and sunbrella cushions) for all the way outside.
But when I decided to redo my lanai, I wanted something for everyone. I have two rockers that face this set. Yea, I know, it looks like Ive blocked off my sliders - well, I did (sliders we dont use). But I have a panel of three sliders to the left of this set so its not like you have to climb over furniture to get in/out. . . although we could start doing that and really get our exercise.
You may be wondering where the glass top is. It is under the square ottoman as Ive put a plush, round floor cushion on the block that is supposed to serve as the ottoman. I have a blanket to pull over my feet when Im out here on chilly mornings (stop laughing. . .I know anyone reading this knows that below 72 degrees is chilly here). The two other beige cushions are ones I had on hand already.
Ive included a picture to show the gorilla grippy shelf liner that I cut up to keep these cushions from sliding all over the place when we sat on it. . .these babies are slick, and they WILL slip if you dont put down something to keep them in place. If you use the clips that come with the cushions, youll pull up some of the rattan material on the base blocks, and you really dont want to do that.
Ive sat out here perched in the corner for hours at a time before getting too uncomfortable to go move to inside the house. Yes, these cushions ARE thin. They DO flatten easily, so swap them around the same way you would cushions on a sofa or the way you would flip a mattress (okay, you may not be as religious about flipping or turning your mattress, but you know what I mean).
As others have said, some of the screws do not align when you go to assemble. Kind of annoying, but with the pieces we received, we could force it without breaking it.
I would absolutely recommend this if you are on a budget and not willing to go over $400. We saw this same set in a thousand different iterations on Overstock and Wayfair for prices that ranged from $400 to $900. Its definitely not a $900 set. When I found the ones I liked on other sites, I did a reverse image search and was pleased to find it here on for (at the time) mid $300s.
I bought these chairs and side table and they are surprisingly comfy.
Once I got the furniture, it took me awhile to find a rug that would pull everything together. I found the Nicole Miller rug hereIt works well.
The middle picture is right after I put the Nicole Miller rug down, btw. You can see I had the grippy stuff out and the rockers are in that picture, too.
Again, cannot comment on durability for alllll the way in the elements, but its serving the purpose for where we have it. This sofa and the two rockers is a great place for three-four people to get together.
