We also got their heavy canvas furniture covers that we put on when bad storms are coming in. Total package was around $1,100. Comes unassembled and took me about 2 hours.
Made from a Brazilian wood that stands up to the weather, and 6" thick cushions. We love it.

I have a lanai just slightly bigger than hers.
We have a set from Home Depot for $700. Consists almost the same as yours. It's heavy duty plastic that looks like wicker. 2 chairs love seat and coffee table. Had it on our lanai for about 7 years and still looks great. I put manual roll up shade curtains that really keeps the sun and rain out.

We bought our place over 12 years ago. The lanai was just screened. I cleaned it once and said, never again"! My husband said let's close it in with sliding windows, and we did. It was the best decision we ever made and the second best decision was to buy vinyl wicker with Sunbrella covered cushions. We could sit out in every season and be comfortable. And when I moved a month ago the vinyl wicker still looked like new.
