Amazon.com Product Description
Durable yet surprisingly lightweight, this cast aluminum, 3-person sofa provides relaxing, deep-seated comfort, and it coordinates with the Strathwood Falkner Lounge outdoor furniture collection. Ideal for use in outdoor furniture, cast aluminum is heavier and sturdier than standard aluminum but much lighter than cast iron. It's also quite resistant to chipping, fading, and rusting. It's constructed of wide, thin strips of black, powder-coated aluminum. This sofa is marked by open crisscross designs on each seat back, which have a slight concave curve. The arms slope down and are highlighted by an artful curled end. It measures 76-1/2 inches from arm to arm, 29 inches deep, and the seat back rises to 32 inches high from the ground. This sofa has a total weight capacity of 750 pounds.

It comes with thick, comfortably filled seat and back cushions--each with a center button accent--which are secured to the chair via fabric ties. They feature a durable, heavy polyester canvas cover in a natural tone, and they offer a zippered closure that enables you to remove the polyurethane fill to wash the covers separately. Spot cleaning with mild soap is recommended for best results. No assembly required.

Please note that upholstered items purchased on different occasions over time may have a slight variation in hue. There is the potential for variation in the hue of any fabric, depending upon the light source in which it is viewed. For outdoor fabrics, sunlight is the source textile manufacturers use to verify hue accuracy. In addition, a slight variation in hue is normally expected between rolls of like fabric, since no two can be produced to come out exactly the same.



Customer Reviews

Very, very pleased5
I read all the comments of those who had ordered the pieces and decided that I would take a chance on this set and I couldn't be happier. I tend to be leary of ordering bulky items like this since returning would be a major hassle, but I won't be returning my set. The color of the set is a very dark chocolate color, borderline black. After reading some of the comments, I was concerned that the aluminum slates might be flimsy, but I am happy to report the slates are solid and not flimsy at all. I also was very impressed with how the set was shipped. The chairs come as a set in one box and shipped by Eagle USA. The sofa comes in a very large box. The packaging by Strathwood is very well done and completely protected with the very thick cardboard box. Even tho there is no assembly, it still took me 30 minutes to take all the wrapping of the sofa and chairs. I have to agree with other comments that the cushions do not appear that they will last very long (time will tell), but that was the least of my worries when ordering this set. I do recommend Scotchgarding the fabric.

Aluminum base is great, cushions are not4
I've purchased a few pieces of this Strathwood Falkner set. I received 2 of the dining chairs before I received this 2 Seater.

The Good - The aluminum base is sturdy and good-looking and looks like it will last. And the design is beautiful.

The not so good -
The base is not black as stated, but a dark brown/gray. I prefer this color over black, but not so good for someone trying to match black.

The cushions leave a lot to be desired. First, they aren't even near the color or fabric as on the dining chairs. The fabric on the dining chairs is a thin basic smooth off-white canvas type material. The cushions on the 2 seater are almost light peachy yellow in color and a more tweed, textured material. I did think that at least the cushions would all match! And the quality is only so so on the cushions.

The sizing is not quite as stated. I am putting this in a small space and every inch counts. It says it's 29 inches deep but put flush against the wall it comes out 33 inches.

I would buy this again but I would plan to replace the cushions.
