We have a view of the river from our house and needed a piece of furniture that my husband and I could use together to enjoy the scenery. This works out great for us. Fairly compact in size, but still big enough to comfortably seat two adults. Construction quality is better than fair, although not spectacular. Was a little tough to put together (some of the screws were barely long enough to make it through the spaces they had to go through in order to put a bolt on the opposite end of the screw. I managed to make it work though. After it rains I just lay out the cushions to dry and in a few hours they looks and feel like new again. I would recommend this to another person needing a cozy outdoor sofa.
