I have been looking for an outdoor sofa for over a year.   I did not want to spend more than $350 and wanted something that was quality constructed and would last.  I am very happy with my purchase. The dark real teak wood is what makes this sofa. Yes, the cushions are on the firm side and not all that thick or plush, but for an outdoor sofa on my deck, it meets my needs.  It's been rained on a few times already and the fabric does a nice job of deflecting moisture.
