Love this couch. I spent weeks comparing outdoor sectionals and reading reviews. I'm so happy we went with this one. The cushions are beautiful and have a slight texture to the thick material. The back cushions are especially full and thick. So comfy. Putting it together was not difficult at all. Maybe one or two screws that didn't exactly line up. Just don't tighten everything down until all the screws are in and use an extra pair of hands to help line things up. It's very sturdy. Looks much more expensive than it was. We accidentally left the cushions out in a thunderstorm and they got pretty wet. They held a good amount of water inside the covers but i stood them up to let it all out and they dried great. Good as new. But we will be more diligent about bringing them in or covering them so they have a good long life. Overall, great couch. Only been a few weeks but would definitely recommend!
