Absolutely Love It
I was so lucky to get one of the last 2 sectionals that's Sam's had. It was so easy to assemble. I don't see what complaints people have about the fabric. This sectional is absolutely AMAZING!!!! You would pay $7,000 easily at Rooms to Go for this Sectional. Great Buy
Worth the Wait!
I found this set during quarantine and didn't buy it when it was in stock. I looked everywhere for something comparable for the money that was in stock and everything I found came up lacking. . When it popped up as available, we instantly purchased this amazing set!! I am so glad we waited and didn't settle. It was worth it! No complaints at all! Well made! Deep seating! Someone mentioned in a comment that it is not very soft. I agree but feel that it will weather better because of it. We have it on an exposed deck so we need the durability. The padding is exceptionally thick. The fire table has been used nonstop since we got it set up and it comes with the cover! There is no reason not to buy this! Highly recommend!
Problem: Fire pit does not work!
Bought this product in Feb. and all the reviews about its excellent quality are absolutely correct! It is well worth the money. However, the firepit does not work, no matter what we do. We have not called in an expert yet, but it has to be something simple (tank is new, battery is new, connections appear to be in tact and not broken/crimped/bent). Obviously very frustrating and would give this product 5 stars, which it deserves, but this is a major problem.
Absolutely gorgeous set!!!
Pros: 1) Gorgeous, roomy, cozy, and comfortable sectional, seating, and ottomans! 2) Bigger, more comfortable, much more substantial, and MUCH nicer looking quality than any other set we compared it to (similarly priced sets at ALL the other typical big box and home improvement stores). Cons: 1) SO hard to find in stock online or in stores. 2) The fire table is WAY too big, high, and awkward to use as a coffee table like they have it pictured in the stock photos and arranged at the stores. Arranging it like that makes it difficult (and very awkward) to walk around it to sit down in the corner seats. It also hides the beautiful sectional and makes the seating area feel really bulky and heavy. For me, it's just an unnecessary piece in this set. We removed the fire table from our sectional seating area altogether and I love it SO much more without it! We are using the small ottoman in the set as an end table and the long bench style ottoman in the set as a coffee table ottoman and it has a much lighter and airier look! It's far more comfortable to walk around, sit in the corner seating, and prop your feet up from any seat on the sectional. I use a large decorative tray on top of both ottomans for drinks which just makes the whole arrangement total perfection!!! Unfortunately, since the fire table is way too low to use with dining chairs as a dining table and too high to use with side chairs as a coffee table... it will require some creativity to make use of it elsewhere on our patio. I will probably put 2 small open benches down the longer sides and 2 stools on the ends to use it as an outdoor game table when not in use as a fire table. 2) The seat cushions are all exactly the same size. This seems completely logical until you put the sectional together and realize you have to literally CRAM the corner seat in. The corner seat cushion would have had to be a smaller dimension to fit perfectly but since it isn't, whichever cushion you cram into the corner gets smushed and wrinkled. Side notes, FYI: 1) I bought one of the Member's Mark Fuji stacking chairs as an accent chair for this seating area and I love it together. It's not a perfect match in upholstery color or wicker color but it's a nice compliment and adds a little texture and character to the otherwise flat/boring look we created by removing the fire table (leaving just a sea of 100% upholstered surfaces). The trays also help break it up. 2) The Sunbrella upholstery color on this set is "Cast Shale." The Cast Shale Member's Mark umbrella we bought for our dining table is a perfect match, but the Cast Shale Member's Mark lounge chair cushions we bought were NOT a perfect match (they're a much darker coordinating shade, but not a perfect match).
It's adequate but wouldn't buy again
We have had the set several months, just got around to installing the propane tank today. I have a couple of issues with it. The seating is not very deep, hard to "curl up" on it and get comfortable. The other thing is the igniter. The instructions were very lacking, and it's a poor design. The spring fell out and became tangled, I could not get it back in because of that. The metal button in the cover that contacts the positive end of the battery also fell out of the cover and no idea which way to put it back in. Anyway, it would not ignite. We were following the instructions correctly. We gave up and will use a fire stick. It was easy to put together.
Exceptional product
It took me forever to find this item but it was well worth the wait and effort. It is so nicely made and sturdy. Nothing like what I’ve seen online and in other places. The cushions are super thick and comfortable. And the seating is the perfect height. Assembly was super simple. We just had to put the little feet on the legs. I’m so happy I didn’t give up on it. I called so many stores so many times during the day and stalked the website like a crazy person. I finally saw one pop up online and snatched it immediately. It was delivered yesterday and I already love it!! Such a beautiful addition to our home.
Worth it!
Purchased over the weekend. I had a great experience with past Member's Mark outdoor furniture, so I didn't hesitate. This is a sturdy, quality set. Very easy to assemble. It took less than an hour. The cushions matched a previous set perfect! It has a very stiff feel as of now, but confident it will break in nicely. We picked up from our local store. It comes in three boxes. We fit all three in the bed of our truck. I was a little concerned about unloading them, but we decided to open the boxes and remove the pieces while they were still loaded. Worked great! Highly recommend this!
Quality Set
I was hesitant to order this without seeing it, but am very impressed. It is very sturdy and well made and the cushions and fabric are high quality. The reason for only 4 stars is the cover it comes with isn’t waterproof at all (100% polyester) and only fits properly when the couch is configured a certain way (with the longer section being on the left “L” and shorter on the right, which unfortunately does not work for our space). I’ll have to purchase another cover as this sits on an uncovered deck. Other than that I am very happy with my purchase.
beautiful monster
Highly recommend to buy this set once is back in stock. I kept checking the website 3-4 times a day until i hit the jackpot one day. Glad i bought it because it went out if stock the next day. The set is beautiful, easy to assemble with 2 people. This set really compliment the back porch.
Beautiful Set
This set is absolutely beautiful. If you can find this set snatch it up quickly! You won’t regret it. It is so comfortable and the fire table makes the atmosphere cozy and comfortable. I get so many compliments on this set . Very well made and sturdy.
