Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We settled on this item while looking for a durable, poly-resin, outdoor loveseat with built-in storage and a fau-wicker look at a reasonable price. Real wicker doesn't hold up well where we live and we didn't want to cover the loveseat when not in use, so we ordered the Suncast Elements Loveseat in Java even though there weren't any customer reviews at the time. Quite a leap for me as I rarely purchase an item with zero reviews. Amazon originally quoted five weeks to deliver with free prime shipping, but we received it one week. Thanks Amazon! The loveseat arrived on our doorstep in a rather large box clearly indicating what was inside and a "walmart, site to store" sticker on it, which I though was kind of funny considering we ordered it from Amazon. It came disassembled in seven pieces along with all the necessary bits to put it together minus a standard Philips head screwdriver. I opted to use a cordless drill to make securing the plastic pieces a bit easier, although a screwdriver would have worked just fine. We assembled it in about 20min and carried it out to the patio. When fully assembled, it's very rigid and difficult to twist or bend; a nice, solid, piece of outdoor furniture. There's easily enough room for two average size people with a seating area of a little over 41" wide and 19" deep. The loveseat doesn't come with cushions, which the girlfriend prefers since now she can decide exactly what colors/designs she wants and they’ll go in the built-in storage when not in use. The built-in storage dimensions are 8" high in the front 6" high towards the rear (This offset is likely due to the leaned back seating position, which I find more comfortable) 41" wide and 18" deep. See my customer images for a visual. Pros: - Easy enough to assemble with one person - Clear assembly manual which includes pictures - Made in the USA! - Rigid when assembled - Built-in Storage Cons: - Built-in Storage is somewhat exposed to the elements due to uneven interior surfaces of the storage compartment. Spiders will likely make a home here which is why I sealed it with http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002YX98O. See customer images. - Seating area is 19" deep but the internal storage is only 18" deep forcing me to store the 19" cushion we purchased at an angle and wasting storage space.
