I really liked the couch at first. Its a little too low to the ground but that wasnt a big deal. The cushions faded dramatically within weeks and they are now a light sky blue color. You can see the dark blue when you flip them over. Ive had the couch for 1 year and the wood is splitting and cracking already. I used it for 1 summer and I cant use it this summer for fear that it will break when someone is sitting on it. Waste of money
