We love this piece as our porch loveseat.  Very attractive, sturdy, and does not take up too much space.  The cushions are comfortable enough for outdoor furniture, and the wood is solid/strong.  Only two minor complaints:  1) the cushions smelled musty, although they are already airing out after 3 days .  2) The directions are not very clear for installation of the arms:  make sure you insert the H bolt/screw into the SLOT so that the arms will go up and down, and that you don't put the arms in upside down.  At first we thought the manufacturer had mistakenly left out a screw hole, and that we were going to have to drill a hole where there was none.
