we received this set today, and it is just perfect for our living room. the fabric is rich and feels soft and fabulous, but also appears that it will be very durable. the delivery service was excellent - prompt, courteous, and helpful. all we had to do was slide the new pieces in place. from what we can tell, these pieces are very well made - heavy and solid, with thick comfortable yet sturdy cushions. also, we did some comparison shopping online, and found this exact set at another site on sale for nearly $2000 more. great product, great delivery, super price!
