We assembled the couch indoors since we‚Äôve been having so much rain here in California. We almost want to keep it here! It‚Äôs sturdy and comfortable. A couple screws were missing but the Neighbor team was prompt the send the missing screws in the mail and they arrived in just a couple days. We do notice a bit of sinking on the sides of the cushions but if you don‚Äôt put pressure on any specific corner of the cushion it‚Äôs not noticeable. I absolutely love the smooth teak frame. This is clearly a high quality piece of outdoor furniture and able to withstand lots of use.
