i love the color and texture of the wood. i thought it was even nicer than in the photo.   it is extremely comfortable.  i love that it's versatile - love seat, lounge, or bed.  i spend much more time out on my balcony now.  it was also very easy to put together and wayfair sent it quickly.  i'm pleased with my first purchase from wayfair.  would definitely shop on this site again after my experience.
