This is lovely and comfortable, but extremely cumbersome and time consuming to assemble with an Allen wrench. It took 2 of us about 4 hours, mostly because we had to rest our fingers! Also, the cushions are in no way “water resistant”. I would suggest a cover of some kind for sure. Even overspray from watering sinks right into the cover. After an unexpected rain, the foam was saturated. I rolled and squeezed out as much as I could, and Followed by a week of humidity, they never dried out. Eventually had to bring them in the house and direct a fan on them.
