6 Piece Patio Furniture Sets, Solid Wood Garden Conversation Sectional with Ottomans, Gray Cushions and Throw Pillows for Backyard

We bought the 6 piece wood set with the gray cushions. The wood color is darker than oak, closer to maple. The gray color is medium light. Overall, a pretty set. Well packed and clearly labeled (except the label glue doesn't come off the wood). Pretty good quality bolts and screws. However, it's almost impossible to put together. You have to install the oblong nuts for the bolts yourself, through a drilled hole that's perpendicular to the bolt's hole. Lining up the oblong nut with the bolt is done inside the holes so you can't see it, you have to guess. After dozens of tries you finally manage to get the bolt in. There's 4 bolts per each of the 3 seats - 2 chairs and the loveseat. Further, while the seats fit into the 2 sides with mortise and tendon joints, more than once my husband had to file the tendons because they didn't fit into the mortises. Then when you go to fasten the back piece to the sides, the pre-drilled hole (which has a threaded nut in it, why couldn't this have been done everywhere else?) doesn't line up. It was only because my husband has a woodworking hobby that we got the pieces together. Frankly, if the 3 boxes it came in weren't massive, so there was a way to return this set, we would have. All in all it took us 7 hours just to do the 3 seating pieces. The bottom cushions are a nice, solid 4 inches thick and pretty firm. The back cushions are only about 2 inches thick, which is not quite as nice. Only the ottoman cushions have straps to hold them in place. I plan to add ties to the back cushions as they can easily be blown away by the wind here. The separate yellow pillows are cute, but since they don't attach I won't be able to leave them outside on the chairs due to wind. My set is under a covered patio, I don't think I'd leave it exposed to rain, it doesn't seem all that water resistant to me. We live in the desert so that's not a concern for us. I very much like how this set looks, and I got it for a very good price. Still, I can't recommend it unless you're able to get someone to build it for you. Or you don't mind a huge, frustrating and time-consuming challenge. As a final FYI, this type of wood does need to have twice yearly coatings of a product such as a mineral oil. You'd need to research how to care for this type of wood before buying it.
