I researched an outdoor sectional a lot before purchasing. The pros for this item are: well packaged, on time shipment, pretty clear instructions (I did by myself and took work, with another would have only been an hour or two), great olefin weather resistant fabric, a cover and table included, and the largest foam thickness of most I saw and it's really comfortable. I choose a metal frame to avoid the maintenance of a wood frame, I do keep the cover on consistently to avoid rusting. The only con: once the frame is assembled, it would be tricky to disassemble for winter so we plan to keep the frame assembled at all times and cover extremely well during winter months where a modular piece would be easier to store. But overall, very very pleased!
