I have champagne taste on a beer budget... if youre like me, you can make this work... with some elbow grease. My husband and I did not want to invest in expensive patio furniture because we live in Chicago and will only use it 4 months out of the year. That being said, for $800, my expectations were not high. Straightforward to assemble, but expect your thumbs and wrists to hurt from the allen wrench. Overall, I am impressed with the sturdy construction of the rattan frame and it looks nice. It appears more black than brown to me.... but I guess it could pass for either. The sectional is seated pretty low, so if youre 6 tall or over, I would not recommend it. My husband is planning to macgyver some raises to give it more height. The cushions are similar to airplane pillows in feel and look, and the back pillows do not stay propped up. You will need to purchase Velcro patches and sew them (adhesive is not enough) to the back of the covers (for back cushions only) to keep them in place. Also, to improve the overall appearance of the sectional, I would recommend splurging on a few high-end outdoor throw pillows (pottery barn has some nice ones). Like I said, you can make this into a nice piece of furniture, but you have to be willing to put in the work. Good luck!
