Admittedly, I was a little reluctant at first to spend $600 for an outdoor sofa. However after having it for about a week now I believe it is well worth the price. It arrived at my house within two days of ordering it. Assembly was fairly easy. It would have been quicker to have a second set of hands but I put it together myself in about 2 hours. It is very sturdy and the quality of the pillows are excellent too. The cushions are 5 inches thick and are very comfortable. It turns out it was a great purchase. I do hope it lasts me for many years. It is on a covered porch.
