I love this sectional! We have already hosted drinks by the pool with friends, and spent time on it drinking coffee in the morning silence. It is comfortable and cleans up easily after muddy dog paws invade. We have reconfigured it a few times and have not had to use the rubber bands to keep the feet together. The low-profile and our pavement don't allow the sections to move around easily, which is nice. The color is beautiful and this is a sleek, modern sectional that I would absolutely buy again. Use right out of the box! No assembly.
