Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We purchased two of these sofas for an enclosed sunroom. I researched for months, looked everywhere online and visited stores in person, and was extremely close to pulling the trigger on two $2000 sofas at another retailer. In a moment of overwhelming anger at the ridiculous conspiracy to keep decent looking outdoor furniture from the patios of regular middle class people, I logged on to Amazon and purchased these. And I am so glad we did. To start, we have had zero quality issues associated with manufacturing. Everything came perfectly assembled, no marks or blemishes, in two giant boxes. The "wicker" is actually plastic (who cares?!), but looks every bit as good as the real wicker bench we have sitting next to the couches. I also have higher hopes for this plastic's ability to withstand wear and tear than I do for the real wicker. The couches are sturdy. We've had three people sitting on each for extended periods of time without consequence. Perfeclty solid, perfectly sized. These pieces are also surprisingly comfortable. We added a few pillows to style them into our decor, adding to the comfort. Though the materials and cushion fill are definitely inferior to Brown & Jordan, Restoration Hardware or Frontgate, they are probably on par with West Elm, CB2 and Target. Dare I say even comparable to Crate and Barrel in many respects. I carefully pored over every single review multiple times and was scared off a few times by the nighmare shipping scenarios. But when I think about the nightmare of paying 5% shipping and the opportunity cost associated with the $3000 I'd have blown purchasing the more expensive versions from another retailer, I was ok with the prospect of having to get into it with the freight company. As it turns out, all arrived in perfect shape. I've posted a photo to give you an idea of how easily these sofas can be incorporated into your theme. And if you are pulling your hair out and arguing with your spouse about why you have no choice but to spend thousands on semi-decent patio furniture, stop the madness and order one of these. UPDATE: A year and a half later, and we still love the sofas. No issues whatsoever. As I mentioned in a reply to a question, we had a leak in our sunroom roof which resulted in several cushions being soaked with yucky, brown water. The covers machine washed perfectly. The fiasco also revealed another blessing in disguise -- had the leak soaked through cushions with more expensive fill (e.g., down), we'd be screwed and have to buy new cushions. Thanks to the inexpensive foam filler, we were able to massage in soapy water, rinse and let dry. Money in my pocket, friends.
