It has the end pieces for the sofa with arms, then there are 3 slipper sectiond for a total of 5 sections to make a double long sofa or multiple units, it also had the 6 band arm chair, original finish, needs reupholstered. i got it at a trendy consignment shop. i sold a 200.00 pine bench for 400.00 there and netted 240.00, they get 40%, but i used it 4 years and sold it wih a profit! The owners mark things 1/2 off after a couple of months and with this for 250, i couldn't resist using my bench money. I then talked the manager down to 225 so i could get it after taxes, without spending any out of pocket cash. It has the original finish in very good shape and also the cushions. I'm stoked! Hadta share and brag this here since peeps round here aren't that hip. After I bought it i looked at TC posts about aloha cruz, rattan, etc. Damn, this piece coulda sold for a cool 4 grand EZ. That's my best tiki find other than my 5 foot witco tiki and my 4 foot one. About 30 bux a piece. Aloha Bryan
