Sofa is attractive and cushions are comfortable.  We are using it outside, but in a screened and covered porch.  The sofa was fairly easy to assemble.  With 2 people, it took us about an hour to unpack and assemble the sofa.   All parts were included and instructions were clear and parts were well labeled.  It probably took us as much time to unpack as it did to assemble.  We decided to protect the wood with teak oil, which brings out the grain and color of the wood.  My one concern is that the sofa is not particularly deep.  That's okay for short people, but for tall people, depth may be a comfort concern.
