Strathwood Camano All-Weather Wicker Sectional Sofa Seat

Comment: We are entering our 4th season with this set (7 pieces) and after the second season, decided to replace the covers with custom made black sunbrella ones. Our set was exposed to the full effects of the elements though. As other reviewers indicated, the back is straight and requires back pillows. Again, we had many custom made in black/white sunbrella plus additional sunbrella throw pillows. So, in addition to the original $2000 we spent, we've invested another $1700 or so in custom cushions, BUT this set now looks like we spent $6-$7k. This set also sits quite low and can be difficult for seniors or anyone with mobility issues, to stand up from a seated position.
The set has stood up well to children bouncing on it and reasonably heavy use and would recommend it to those looking to have a modern styled sectional at a fraction of the price of more expensive sets, acknowledging that it needs large back cushions.

Comment: I have had this in my yard for approx the past 2 years, in south California, always remained outside, uncovered, and has tolerated the elements. The cushions rarely are kept outside, though. This is very durable and looks great. The wooden legs can be affected though by water and weather in general. The non-waterproof cushions are white/creme, and they stain very easily.
Overall, an excellent buy for the price. Paid ~$900 for a lounge section, a middle and a corner one.

Comment: I read the previous reviews for this item, and, satisfied with what I read, ordered two corner pieces, two center pieces, and the side table. I was surprised - and greatly relieved - regarding the quality and appearance of the items. They look really great....very modern and clean. I wish the cushions were sunbrella fabric, but that would probably have made this unaffordable for moi. Anyhoo.....I'm very happy overall!

Comment: The furniture is awesome- especially for the price but the cushions are definitly not weather proof and even with the covers we bought on amazon after one storm and a few days the cushions were totally molded. When you buy the upgraded color cusions the fabric is all-weather and much thicker. Still recommend the set.

Comment: Okay. Here's the skinny on this set of outdoor furniture because I think online shoppers should know what they are in for before they make such a big purchase.

The overall quality is good for the money, HOWEVER, this is not comparable to Restoration Hardware's outdoor wicker as some of the other reviewers indicate. Here's the difference: #1 comfort. This pieces don't have any kind of angled backs, so you sit virtually upright, and there are no back cushions. #2 completely inadequate cushions for outdoor use. You will have to replace these cushions with custom-made Sunbrella cushions. Price them out on the net first ([...]). There are no backs, so you will want to order those as well. Expect to pay $300 for the left and right sections, and $200 for the center. #3 The style is boxy, which is okay if you are looking for a modern look. And the wicker is one color, not two-toned like Restorations.

All-in-all, I wished I had spent a little extra and gone with Restorations stuff, which on sale is only slightly more than less and whole lot more attractive. I would return, except I have to pay the return freight ($300 in my case.)

I guess you really do get what you pay for.
