Below you will find my original review. Since then we have had a chance to enjoy our couch on our deck. It actually doesnt seem as short as I thought. And, the company refunded me a portion so I can purchase new cushions!! Which, I am going to purchase in January from the At Home store. The cushions I am purchasing are green and 6, which will make the couch a little bit higher. I didnt ask for a refund, they just offered it on their own so I can purchase new cushions. Not many companies do this without a fight! I love the wicker on the couch and they are light so I can easily move the couch around the way I want it. The directions for putting it together were easy to read and once we used a ratchet it wasnt too bad to put together.
Original review:
The wicker is only 12 high from the ground. I wish I would have realized how short it was going to be. I am going to have my husband put 5 wood blocks underneath to make it higher. We paired it with a gas fire pit and it looks SO SHORT. We put the couch on our deck and it literally moves apart and back and forth when you sit so I am going to have my husband screw the couch together (there are screws with plastic ends on the bottom so you can make it level, but then it moves easily and scratches our deck). The cushions literally look like a light pink (my husband even thought so and I swear he is color blind!) and they arent even as thick as our camper cushions. They are very cheap, not something I really enjoy relaxing on, they are more like a nylon material. I am hoping to find new cushions at the At Home store. It wasnt bad to assemble but you will want to invest in a ratchet, that made it MUCH easier to put together. The wrench they sent was one of those L-shaped allen wrenches which was useless, unless you have hours to put it together (BTW-your fingers will hurt after putting the first piece together). I realize it was cheap. I guess you get what you pay for. My bad. I would return it but to take the thing apart and put it back in the boxes would be close to impossible!!! If I had to do it over, I would spend more and get a better quality set.
Great Customer Service.
