The furniture was just as beautiful as it looked in the pictures. It is very good quality and the delivery was quick and problem free. I was, however disappointed at how firm the seat and back cushions are. The back cushions are so well-stuffed that they make the seat area quite shallow and the sitting position very upright. The seat cushions are also very, very firm. I considered returning the furniture as a result of this but as the shipping costs were going to be between $600 - $695 and it was going to take a while to get the pick up organized I have decided to keep it. Hopefully it will soften up with use!
