I have been searching for some deck furniture that was more like a couch to stretch out on, and I couldnt find anything to fit our small deck - its only like 8 x 8 - in looking for an L-shaped outdoor sofa, everything was way too big. So because this is 5 modular pieces that separate (including the coffee table which has a glass top and came in the box surprisingly intact ) I was able to separate the pieces into 2 different couches so to speak using the ottoman for one of the sides. It works great and its quite comfortable - I was pleasantly surprised, since it was so inexpensive (thats the other thing... and I was able to use my card to also space out the payments for a year interest free, so why not?).
It came in 2 big boxes which Im so grateful the shippers brought it all the way up my front brick steps onto the porch which would not be an easy task (I wasnt home, so I didnt see them), it was heavy. I personally, all by myself - a 65 yr old woman - took all the pieces out (and there were a lot of them) and put it together alone. Of course it took me probably 5 or 6 hours all together over 2 days in the evening.
Part of the problem was the instructions were not the best - its not impossible to figure out without any, but they def couldve been clearer, they were very brief. And I used the little allen wrenches that came with it (and they give you plenty of screws - I think i had extra), and that probably took me longer than a man that is stronger may have taken, but i did it and its sturdy! If you have a power-driver with that piece you could prob zip it together in half the time I bet. The whole pieces when finished are lightweight to carry and manage for a light-weight like me ... I love that they are modular so you can move them around however you like! I may switch it up later and try some different configurations.
The cushions are pretty thick and comfy and a waterproof kind of fabric, although I still wouldnt intentionally leave them out in the rain. It came with 2 regular, like square shaped couch pillows, but they were oddly red with the blue cushions, and think theyd almost get in the way so I didnt use them out there. But I could cover them and use them for something else!
Size wize - the furniture is kind of low, but I like it like that, and mostly I sit on it like a chaise lounge and the pillows hit me a just the right place when I lean back so it works for me. Probably wouldnt be the best fit for a really large person. Perfect for my little deck! Im pleased. I tried my best to get both sides in the picture, but you can get the idea; and I didnt put anything on the coffee table so you could see it.
Worth it for the price!
