This couch is slim, nice looking and simple. It definitely needs some pillows though. The cushions are pretty thin, but I don't plan on lounging on here for hours. I like the built in table. The base is sturdy and attractive. This couch looks good on our balcony. The packaging was horrible though. The plastic bag that the hardware was in had ripped open, so there were a bunch of pieces all around the box that we had to find.
