fits like a glove
We bought the outdoor living room and dining room set. It looks nice and holds up well. The furniture (with covers) survived a snowstorm and when we didn't have covers, withstood constant rain and didn't rust or fade. Sturdy.
Only downside was the pieces add up to be a little pricey.

Exceeds Expectations
We purchased 10 pieces from this set for our patio after looking exhaustively online and local retail. We debated about buying cheaper sets, but went with the quality we have come to expect from C&B, and are so glad we did. So many outdoor sets have flimsy cushions or are as hard as a rock; not so with Ventura. It is more comfortable than some of my indoor furniture.
It looks beautiful, modern, and, as my daughter says, seems like it was designed just for our house.
We do take the cushions in whenever bad weather is expected; I would not want to risk the stone color with long exposure to the elements. As previous reviewer indicated, they take a long time to dry, although ours are under a pergola, which doesn't help the cause. We have had some minor spotting issues that clean up beautifully.
The only negative, which really is nothing that can be helped, is the amount of space required to store my 19 seat and back cushions in the event of bad weather, and the amount of time required to whisk them all in the house before a storm. Unless you live somewhere like CA or FL, I would suggest having a plan for cushion storage before purchasing.

Great look but a little pricey
We have this on our patio in Cayene. Everyone compliments the setup - we bought two love seats and corner, an umbrella and a coffee table.
The only problem is that it is much more expensive than other similar pieces i've seen in other stores. I would recommend getting this if price is not an issue - or you would do well to shop around, if it is.

Impressive, Hip, Comfy
We purchased 7 pieces from this collection. We have been searching for dependable, comfortable outdoor seating for our beach house for a few years. We tested many before buying; it is unbelievable how many outdoor setas are hard as rocks or offer little support at all. The Sunbrella fabric feels great and really holds up well. We DO take the cushions in when we are expecting a heavy rainstorm - we left them out once and they took weeks to fully dry out, though we could still sit on them while they were drying as the water collects at the base of the cushion.
We've spot cleaned them a few times (birds bombs, food, juice) and the Sunbrella Cleaner works like a dream. We have 2 kids, 2 dogs and a cat. We all love the set, and spend much more time outside on our deck than we had done previously. We are thrilled w/this purchase. We get oodles of compliments from family and friends. Some have spent most of the day sitting on the set, and not wanting to leave. : ) We gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because the cushions hold water for a long time, and we are concerned about disintegration and/or mold over time.
