This patio set looks very sleek and was easy to assemble. We only had one little tiny area we had to file down because it was just a little sharp. We have grandchildren and the edges are rounded off. It is pretty easy to clean. The dark color of our cushions (navy) was not my choice in our dusty desert climate, but it looks good. A lighter color would not show the dust so much. We keep a stiff brush to brush it down, and that works well. It is also sturdy, but light enough to pick up and move so I can sweep under it. It fits our very modern home well.
