This sofa is perfect for my area.  I am using it in a 3 season porch and I definitely wouldn’t recommend using it outside if you live where there is rain andor actual seasons without sealing the wood.  I assembled it by myself in a little over an hour (47 yo woman).  Everything lined up and the directions were easy enough to follow.  The Allen wrenches they provide are trash but get the job done.  It is shipped in 3 boxes and it results in a LOT of trash… but it is well packaged.  The most fun part is getting under it to hook the three parts together and attach the cushion Velcro…. Unless you have access to the back side.
