I am delighted with this product. It is beautiful and reasonably priced.

I read all the comments of those who had ordered the pieces and decided that I would take a chance on this set and I couldn’t be happier. I tend to be leary of ordering bulky items like this since returning would be a major hassle, but I won’t be returning my set. The color of the set is a very dark chocolate color, borderline black. After reading some of the comments, I was concerned that the aluminum slates might be flimsy, but I am happy to report the slates are solid and not flimsy at all. I also was very impressed with how the set was shipped. The chairs come as a set in one box and shipped by Eagle USA. The sofa comes in a very large box. The packaging by Strathwood is very well done and completely protected with the very thick cardboard box. Even tho there is no assembly, it still took me 30 minutes to take all the wrapping of the sofa and chairs. I have to agree with other comments that the cushions do not appear that they will last very long (time will tell), but that was the least of my worries when ordering this set. I do recommend Scotchgarding the fabric.

Just received the loveseat and sofa today. It took me awhile to order this set, been searching for the right set. The set is beautiful and well made. The great thing about it was it came assembled and great packaging from Strathwood. I would recommend buying some pillows for the pieces to help with back support. Compared this set with some from Crate and Barrel and Restoration, for the price it was well worth it and much less but has the same quality. Now I have an outdoor living room to entertain.

A month ago I received the Strathwood Falkner 2 Seater Deep Lounge Sofa, the Strathwood Falkner Lounge Deep Seat Arm Chairs, the coffee table and the set of three nesting tables. I wanted to use the set for a few weeks before submitting this review.

First of all, the delivery experience was amazing. Each item was shipped to my door within a week and required no assembly. (Suggestion: when unpacking this set, use scissors to cut through all the plastic tape, then all the foam/paper wrapping rips right off. I came very close to scratching the finish when I attempting using a utility knife to free my sofa!)

The frames are lightweight, yet are very sturdy. When the cushions are put away for the winter, the snow will not damage this set because it cannot build up due to the slats. They’re easy to keep clean, completely functional and beautiful. I still cannot get over the value.

In regard to the infamous white cushions…I was attracted to them for two main reasons. I knew that whatever color or pattern toss pillows I could dream-up, they’d look fabulous and because the cushions cannot fade-out in the sun! HOWEVER, Holy Mackerel are these things dirt-magnets. If I ever get them clean again I’ll use a product such as scotchguard to protect them.

Today I attempted to unzip the covers to wash them. I was disenchanted upon making the discovery (duh on my part) that the decorative button inhibits the removal of the covers since it’s fastened to the bottom. My scissors are just about ready to make the snip.

My solution? I just ordered replacement cushions that are not white and that have no buttons. I justified the purchase by telling myself that the entire set plus replacement cushions is still much less of an investment than any other deep seating set that I considered. Plus I truly prefer this design over anything else I’ve seen. Overall, I’d highly recommend this set.

The loveseat and the rest of the set are fabulous! It is very very similar to sets sold by both Restoration Hardware and Plow & Hearth, but for a mere fraction of the price.

As others have said, I am not too impressed with the cushions, but the sizes are fairly standard so finding replacement cushions is pretty easy (and even after buying new cushions, the furniture is still significantly cheaper than that sold by other retailers). I recommend keeping an eye on the Restoration Hardware website. They have outdoor cushions on sale all the time, and if you happen to hit it when they first list a particular line on sale, it is easy to get a full set (dining chairs, lounge furniture, chaises, ottomans, etc.) I just bought fabulous replacement Sunbrella cushions from Restoration Hardware for six Strathwood Falkner dining chairs , 2 lounge chairs, a loveseat and a couple chaise lounges for roughly $600 in total. It would cost a small fortune at full price (over $2500!!), but on sale it was more than manageable. GOOD LUCK!

FOLLOW-UP POST: One season has passed and I still love this furniture. Another Amazon customer asked for details on the replacement cushions from Restoration Hardware. I bought the “Providence” collection pillows from Restoration Hardware. For the lounge chairs, specifically, the replacement pillows measure 24-3/8″W x 28-1/2″L x 5-1/2″H for the bottom cushion and 24-3/8″W x 16 “L x 5-1/2″H for the top cushion (they are currently on sale for $69 for the set, normally $295). They fit very well. If you happened to buy a few pieces, you can buy a set of three pillow sets and save a little more money (listed as the “Sofa Cushion Set” at Restoration Hardware for $179, which translates to $59.67 per set). These pillows work for the lounge chairs and the loveseat as well (I am not sure about the larger sofa since I don’t have that, but I am guessing it would be fine). I hope you love the set as much as I do.
