Solaste Outdoor Aluminum Furniture Set,4 Pieces Patio Sectional Chat Sofa Outdoor Conversation Set with Table,Dark Grey

Excuse the poor picture. I just snapped this real quick after putting the set together.Speaking of assembly, I’ll start there. This HAS to be the EASIEST set to assemble. There is literally 10 bolts for the each piece (coffee table has 8 bolts and 8 nuts). It took less than 30 minutes to put the couch together.I was surprised by how light the pieces are. They are very easy to move (a big plus for us).It feels very sturdy to sit on. I’m 350 lbs and feel comfortable sitting on all the pieces. The chairs are wide with plenty of room to spare (even for my big butt).Shipping was quick! All boxes (there were 3) arrived at the same time and were 2 days earlier than expected. Miraculously, no pieces were damaged despite the UPS driver’s deliberate disregard for the packages’ contents (he was throwing the boxes around and dropping them on my concrete porch). They seem well-packed without tedious and wasteful overpacking. They used the cushions to protect the aluminum pieces.The set looks great and I’m very happy with the purchase!

We ordered this set for an enclosed patio/sunroom and it looks very nice.We were looking at some other patio sets and the cushions seemed really thin. Not this set. The cushions are thick and offer a nice amount of support, but are also comfortable for sitting for extended periods.The fit and finish of the powdered coated aluminum frame is very good and assembly was fairly easy and took maybe a couple of hours, but I wasn't rushing to get it together.As other reviewers have mentioned, do not tighten every screw as you assemble. Leave them a little lose until you have everything assembled, then go back and tighten them down. It will save you from having to go back and loosen some parts to complete the assembly of each piece.Once complete, it looks very nice and we expect it to hold up well as the patio is enclosed and not exposed to the elements.

Love the furniture; assembled in less time than recommended. The powder-coated aluminum frame is so much better than fake wicker and it is comfortable. And the price was significantly less than what my kids paid for similar outdoor furniture. That's the good part!Comes in three boxes (from China); the first were the two chairs - great; the second, a couple days later was the loveseat - missing one arm; the third, a week later was the table - great. The problem: when I notified them that I was missing an arm and a table, they said they were now shipping the table now with a different carrier and that they wouldn't ship the missing arm until I had received the table and inspected (assembled) it (? right ?). So I did that and then received the missing arm ( and another arm and two cushion stuffings) about five days later. So I guess I am finished (with assembly) and only awaiting a small compensation for my troubles. The real problem: I am at 39 days and counting until check arrives. I ordered Dec 7th hoping to have for Christmas and it is now January 14th. But for the shipping problems and my inability to speak or write Chinese, I would have given it 5 stars.Follow up on January 25th: updating my rating to 5 stars because the seller made an additional effort after my initial writing to ensure my satisfaction. Firstly, seller made an adjustment to selling price to accommodate problems with timing and shipping. Secondly, seller helped arrange the purchase of an additional loveseat at the price that existed when I first placed my order on December 7th (prices have increased significantly since then) and without shipping costs. And lastly, the purchase of the loveseat took only 4 days from order to arrival - much different from the Holyday fiasco.

4.5 stars. This is a great item.I bought this for around $1,000 when comparing similar sets at other (big box & discount) retailers, often found for twice the price. On this set: the price, the style, the comfort, the quality is all fairly decent. Be patient, the shipping can be a little weird.If this set’s features and price are in your realm, then you should definitely buy this.Is it the best outdoor set on the market? No, but at this price point, the quality is very appropriate and very sufficient.It’s lightweight metal (aluminum (probably alloy) I believe), which makes it easy to move around and should perform well resisting rust. The cushions are fairly comfortable and acceptable for style. The fabric is not waterproof, so I plan to scotchgard them and buy patio cushion bags and bring them inside when not in-use.The instructions are “ok” and not terrible. They give you some extra pieces. There is a little design/execution flaw on one of the sofas (screwing it tight would cause the sofa to bow) To help: Basically, just don't screw the bolts all the way in until you have all the pieces and bolts at least partially in. Then go back and tighten everything.Downsides: the cushions could be a better material to resist water.the metal furniture pieces somehow attracts and hold water inside their hollow cavities (hollow metal pieces IS expected and normal). I think this may only be an issue with freezing temps after rain, which could cause a piece to bulge/bust.One of my pieces had damage, but I’ll be contacting the manufacturer for help soon.Overall, I don’t have any buyers remorse and I'm happy with the set. If I got a similar set anywhere else, it would be double the cost.Bonus: the metal won’t fall apart in the sun like wicker or rattan will.I’m looking forward to this lasting 5-10 years.

Love many things about this set: 1) cool and sleek design, 2) very light 3) easy to put together, 4) thick cushions, 5) covers can be removed and washed with easy zippered style, 6) arrives within 2-3 days! Amazing look. Love adding this to my backyard space.

The aluminum is very sturdy. The seat cushions are firm so should last long. Back pillows are soft. The set definitely dresses up my porch.
