Just received, so we haven't really put it to heavy use yet but it looks just like the picture and is comfortable. Took a couple of hours to put together, although just 4 pieces. Turns out, you really have to follow the directions in terms of not tightening all of the screws until the very end: I didn't completely follow this, and the last arm piece wouldn't line up until I loosened the screws and tried again. So, I initially emailed customer service they were very helpful, and sent me out an extra arm piece. (They also suggested that I try loosening the screws first.)Water beads on the cushions but also does soak through. The inside cushion is a white foam-like material. So, you will need a cover of some kind to keep it waterproof when not using it.
