Quality throughout!
This teak set is absolutely wonderful. It isn't difficult to put together and it is of excellent quality.I worry a little about the color of the cushions, but added some scotchguard just in case to help. We use it on a covered deck area over-looking our pool. We added Pottery Barn outdoor pillows and it is like we have our own little cottage paradise! It is very comfortable and is very sturdy. For the price, we couldn't find a better value anywhere. Shipping was a little pricey, but so glad we did it! Now I wish I had purchased the side table to match it! Maybe it will be available again soon.
Six Years - Still Great!!
We bought this set in 2011 and, at that time, off white was the only color available. Although we had a covered patio, I worried about how this set would hold up with exposure to heat and humidity (deep south here). I admit to being lazy and did not want to get furniture that had to be babied. This was a great choice for us! Set is very well made and sturdy. I was initially intimidated by the number of boxes delivered, but assembly was relatively fast and easy. Furniture comes with bolts to arrange a permanent configuration, but we like to change it, so did not use. Modular pieces make this a very functional set! Pieces are heavy enough to stay in place, so no need to bolt together. Cushions are a little stiff, but quite thick and have two layers of batting on each side. Covers are removable with well made zippered openings. It is not a simple matter to remove the covers, but I have only needed to remove them twice in six years. Both times were to wash the covers and they are easy to clean and still look new. I chose not to use teak oil, but decided to let the wood weather and they are a light silvery gray. My one maintenance concession is to wash the pieces down using dish detergent, a hose, and a rag, at the start of the summer season. As I said, we do have a covered porch, so the cushions don't really get wet, but even with off white fabric, the cushions look like new! We store the cushions in winter and they are quite large and require a good amount of storage space. I was reluctant to spend so much money for furniture without seeing and feeling. However, comparable sets at our local stores were twice the cost, so we took the risk and could not be more pleased. I fully expect to get another ten years of use from this set! I highly recommend!!
Great Value -- much cheaper than other places
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.
Fine Outdoor Furniture!
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.
Teak is king!
Very impressed with the quality of this Sofa Patio set! Came all boxed up together on the delivery truck and was easily unloaded. The pieces were packaged well. It took me a couple of hours to assemble but it was pretty easy work overall. The color of the cushions are beautiful as well as comfy and this thing is sturdy! Glad we went with a teak product! Would definitely recommend to others. Lots of seating and the table is a good size.
Great Set - Once assembled!
I just assembled this set yesterday. It took a while. I did it myself in about 3 hours. The instructions are fairly clear but often matching screws was a challenge. The alphabet letters on the wood pieces did not always match the instructions provided. When you open the 3 large boxes it really looks like a daunting task. And it is. All I noticed under assembly required before purchase was "tighten screws". That's very true, but you must assemble the entire set. Oh joy! If you buy this set just a couple of tips for install.Get a helper to hold the wood pieces when your attempting to assemble. Empty all boxes and group all like pieces.When you insert screws don't tighten all the way until all pieces are fit together. Once you get it built, it is a really nice set. The quality is high, the seat and back cushions are thick and fairly comfortable.
Nice outdoor living room
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...
outstanding!
i've been researching for a sectional for our newly built screened in porch all summer. comparing this with pottery barn which i love, the price was almost HALF and the quality is far beyond my expectations. we have had it for about two weeks and absolutely love it. the only drawback is the only one light color, its almost light creamy color and you can see the dirt on it (i have two children under the age of 4) but it comes out easily when you vacuum it with the brush roll. it comes slipcovered so you can take them off and wash when needed. i highly recommend this to anyone looking for a high quality sturdy and fashionable piece of furniture.
Beware of cushions!
We've owned this piece for about 4 years and now need new cushions. They are an odd size and we cannot find them ANYWHERE. Called the number for the manufacturer which now goes straight to voice mail AND it's a totally different company. Typical of Sam's products.
Beautiful sectional- we love it
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.
