This is a great, inexpensive, sturdy set. The first sofa came damaged, but the freight company called to let me know before attempting delivery, and Great Offer Stock had a replacement out to me within a few days. The sofa is a nice size, not too small like a lot of similar items. The set came with 4 striped accent pillows--I don't think this was mentioned in the item description. We keep our set in a screened in porch, so it remains dry for the most part, therefore I cannot comment on how it holds up to the elements.
