They are
Assembly takes a while. Didn't have an issue with screws lining up, if you read the directions they say not to tighten the screws all the way until fully assembled which makes it easy to line up for assembly. My main issue is the shelf that supposedly opens and closes- once open, I can't get it to close again. Cushions do appear water proof which I was worried about becuase it's difficult to easily take the cushions off and on with the toggles to hold the cushions in place - they do stay in place nicely. Chaise is more narrow than the ones I previously had. I expect them to only last a season or 2 based on materials and construction.
