Low Slung, ModernJuly 18, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Lovely pieces, low to the ground, very modern, clean lines. I've had this set for over a year now, and here are my thoughts:
- Requires a handfull of throw pillows for the back. The bigger and more, the better. - I would recommend putting additional wood protector on the wooden legs as they are subject to fading. I've oiled these and it helps a little. - The cushions do get dirty, but the easiest way I've found to clean them is to spray them down with a hose, a light soapy solution and a scrub brush. You could also try one of those spray-on waterproofing deals to see if that helps. These are not totally weatherproof cushions. If you are handy you could make slip covers pretty easily. - The plastic (polyethylene) wicker has held up very well. Note that it is not PVC (polyvinyl chloride, a very toxic plastic in its manufacturing), which was a big reason I bought these. Technically Polyethylene (PE) is recyclable, so you may be able to recycle many parts of the thing at the end of its life versus throwing it out. - Durable. Will last a long time with care. May need to make seat covers after a few years.
Overall I love this sectional set. It is unique and much more affordable than other versions I've seen out there. Highly recommended, just beware that you'll need extra cushions and will have to periodically clean the seat cushions.
different fabricJuly 15, 2008 I purchased 3 pieces from the group and I have a different type of fabric on this chair, but it is part of the group. Otherwise it is great
High quality product for amazing priceJuly 1, 2008 I searched a number of local stores in my area for patio furniture from Lowes, Home Depot and Target to high end,local, patio stores. I found a number of things that didn't look nearly the same quality in person as they did in picures. I also found some really nice products with some really hefty price tags. When I found the Strathwood collection, it came with all the pieces to cutomize the exact groupings of furniture I needed. Upon further investigation, the material it was made of was the same as the high end furniture for a "fraction" of the price. I LOVE my furniture. I ended up paying 3600.00 for 4 loungers, 3 tables and a complete "huge" sectional sofa as compared to the same items, two other places, ranging in price from 8K to over 12K. The quality of the product is excellent! The furniture looks even better in person than it does in the pics!

I bought these set to create a modern outdoor lounge at my house and I can't beleive how expensive they look, everyone thinks I spent thousands of dollars but they are wrong... The furniture is well made, the cushions are not weather resistant but you can always buy them somewhere else. I definitely recommend this product, I have a total of 9 pieces and I spent 1/3 of what it would of cost me somewhere else.

Came in a tight package. Really great addition to the patio. Would recommend throw pillows for the back. Excellent purchase.
