I got this set last summer and am using it again this summer by a swimming pool. The set is very nice and was much, much lower in price than the exact same set I saw advertised other places (at least those other websites used the exact same picture). The cushions are white and do show some staining from weather and stuff (I hope it's not mildew). I may try bleaching them -- it's just the seated cushions, not the backs. Overall, very nice piece. I used TeakGuard on it to keep it the golden color or else it will gray. I would recommend.

To be quite honost, I was a bit overwhelmed with the size of the boxes and envisioned hundreds of parts and pieces. I was quite pleased with how simple the assembley actually was. The size of the boxes had more to do with all the cushions than the actual hardware. Easy one page instructions...a screwdriver...and about an hour and half and I was hanging out on the back porch sitting on my sectional with a cold beer. Perfect...

We bought this set online and it was delivered promptly. I oiled all the pieces with Teak oil and put it together myself in one Saturday. It is sturdy and looks beautiful. The cushions are comfortable and look great. They are white, so they will OBVIOUSLY show some dirt. Still, a beautiful, well-made set at a very reasonable price.

I had researched & priced all over for a large comfortable sectional. While this was not the cheapest it was the best value. It is VERY sturdy, the sections do not shift when people sit down, The teak is left Natural...not unfinished. You can let it gray out for no maintenance or stain every year. The cushions are very light, but so far wipe clean. It is large enough for 2 adults and 2 dogs to stretch out for a nap! All our guests have been crazy about it.

We ordered this during the summer of '09 and got a great deal at the time. Free shipping plus a $200 Sam's gift card. Guess the current deal is not as good but nonetheless we really do enjoy this unit. We have a gigantic 1000 sq ft deck off the back of the house and this took up a pretty good chunk of it. Looks great and is very comfortable. So good that the neighbors 2 cats love sitting on it. Thats where the only drawback comes...cushions are white and these critters leave footprints all over it. I scotchgarded the heck out of it so hopefully that helps. Our chihuahua is of no help chasing these cats away and ends up sleeping next to them...

I purchased this set Spring 2010 - It has far exceeded my expectations!!! It is very sturdy and comfortable. The cushions do not move around when you sit on it. All of our guests rave over this set. However, it is challenging to keep the light cushions clean. I have found a hand held mini vac works best. I have also cleaned them once due to a little midew starting to show. I used a cap of Clorox Clean-up in a bowl of water - and a scrub brush. Rinse off with a water hose and let them dry in the sun. They turned out better than new!! I also decided to use spray on Scotch Guard which has made a world of difference. I'm thinking I will need to vacuum 1x per week and clean 1x per season. Even with the extra work I highly recommend this set. You will love it!!!!

These cushions look great - I agree with all the positive reviews. However, with my 3rd season coming up, it needs to be mentioned that they unravel at the fabric edges in the seam allowances, which are very small. You can either zigzag the seam allowance, which is difficult as the cording prevents getting in close enough, or seal them. I sealed mine using a hot knife, which should have been used in the first place when the fabric was cut out in order to prevent this problem. You just need to barely touch the edges to do this if the knife is really hot. This is a job that needs to be done with great care so you don't burn either yourself or the "good" fabric. . I use a metal baking sheet for the solid surface needed. It is possible there are products out there to do this as well.

My boyfriend and I bought this set last Spring, in 2010. We did stain the wood and so far its held up well over the past year. The white cushions CAN be a little daunting to keep clean, but they do spot clean very well. Last year, I wash all the cushions on my deck, with Oxyclean and a hose. This year, I decided to actually remove the foam and batting from inside and wash the covers in the washing machine Be careful when removing and reinserting not to put too much stress on the zipper ends of the opening. I had a few cushions come unstitched and the zipper fall off....easy to put back on and stitch back up, but better to handle with care to prevent that. I developed a roll-up technique when putting the foam back in the slip cover. Roll it into to thirds and insert in. This takes the stress off the zipper stitching. As far as washing, I washed them on hot, with Tide Stain Releaser and a couple of cups of Oxy Clean, as well as detergent. I washed them in about 3 batches. THEY LOOK BRAND NEW!!!!!!!!!!

We purchased this teak sectional set with the blue cushions for our Northern California patio. It was delivered on time and assembly went smoothly. My husband and I were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the wood and how comfortable the cushions were to sit on. The blue color of the fabric was beautiful. Key word "WAS". We have owned this sectional exactly one month and the blue fabric cushions have faded severely! The color is now a dull grey. We flipped one seat cushion and took a side by side picture of the faded exposed area to the underside "non-exposed". The different is as heart breaking as it is infuriating. We wanted to LOVE this seating set but are very disappointed that this manufacturer dropped the ball when selecting the fabric. I wish I could post the pictures of how severely and rapidly the color faded from the fabric in a matter of four weeks. This site doesn't allow for pictures so you will have to take my word for it. We spent so much time researching reviews on-line and finally decided on this set based on the 5 star reviews. I find it interesting that it "appears" no one else has experienced this faded fabric issue with the blue cushions. So, to avoid someone else making the same mistake, I felt it necessary bring this important issue to light. Our one month old outdoor seating set looks like it has been baking in the sun for four years, not four weeks!! This is a large set with a lot of cushions! Spend your money wisely. Pay a little more for quality fabric (which was NOT an option here). I learned my lesson the hard way. You get what you pay for.

A little bit of work to assemble, but worth it. We applied linseed oil to the wood to give it a rich look, and it is the finest outdoor furniture I've seen. The white cusions attract dirt/stains easily, but we scotchguarded them and it helps. I especially like that you can configure the individual chairs as you like, and attach them for greater stability.
