If you're looking for something that's easy to put together, this is it. The cushions are thin and the worst part about it is they hold so much water after a rain. You would either need to bring them inside before the rain, or take them off the couch, set them upright and let them drain down before using them again. They drain terribly! I think it might have something to do with the fact that the couch goes all the way to the ground and won't allow air to circulate underneath the couch to dry off the cushions on the underneath side.  I will definitely have to look for thicker and better cushions in the future. It's also not the most comfortable when you're lying down. Because of how the seat of the couch is formed, sort of in a wave, if you lay down, you can feel that center bar through the cushions. I would just plan on either getting thicker cushions for this if you buy this couch. It's very lightweight and easy to move.
