This is comfortable furniture and seems well made. The stain, which is quite orange in tone, is a bit uneven in spots, but that is to be expected with wood products. I expect it will weather well. It was pretty easy to put together with the instructions provided. The only issue I had was getting the back on the sofa. It is best done as a two person job. The bolt stripped because I didn't have it at the appropriate angle. I was able to purchase replacement bolts at my local hardware store, though.
