This was a great value! We use it indoor around a pool and it's the perfect piece as it works when out guests are wet and also provides a great extra place to lounge or nap on around the pool. We added 16" outdoor throw pillows along the back for comfort.  The raised platform is also a great place for us to store pool toys in decorative "under the bed" storage drawers.  The cushion is thick enough so that it is truly comfortable to nap or sit on.
