Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Product Description
The Strathwood Camano collection features handsome wicker furniture with superb weather resistance and maintenance-free care, making it ideal for outdoor use. Smartly designed and built to last, this Strathwood resin wicker sectional lounge chair offers classic style to weather ever-changing trends and reliable craftsmanship to stay pristine in outdoor conditions. This right-sided lounger features the mid-sized, mocha-hued wicker weave of the Camano outdoor furniture line, which also includes center and left-sided sectional pieces. This seat measures 63 by 31 by 30 inches (LxDxH).

The tightly woven wicker strands are made from durable polyethylene (PE) resin, which is designed to withstand fading, weathering, and aging within a temperature range of -70C (-94F) to 80C (176F) degrees. The washable wicker strands have a powder-coated finish with a modest sheen that easily sheds drizzle and accidental drips, and its looks will remain unchanged for three years under normal usage. No assembly is required.

A weatherproof aluminum frame and all-weather, cherry-hued block-wood legs (with a five-inch clearance) provide increased durability while making the chair impervious to sun and rain. Nicely sized even for the long-legged set, this sectional lounge chair features a comfortably firm cushion that covers the 27-by-58-inch seating area. The natural-hued cushion cover has a zippered closure, allowing you to remove the interior polyurethane foam for cleaning. The cushion is not weather treated, and should be brought inside during inclement weather. The removable cover can spot cleaned with warm water and mild detergent.

The term "wicker" doesn't refer to a particular material, but a style of construction that weaves together stiff strands of fibers such as rattan, willow, and bamboo. Woven furniture has been around since ancient Egypt, but wicker is believed to have been given its name in Scandinavia--with wika meaning to bend and vikker meaning willow in Swedish. Wicker was first popularized in America in the 1850s, and was used extensively in the Arts and Crafts movement at the turn of the 20th century.

nice furniture if you dont have kids or leaves3
I really like the look of this furniture but had no idea that it is not stain resistant. The description states it is not even weather resistant so I guess that is my fault for not reading entirely.

The cushion covers are EXTREMELY difficult to remove and even more difficult to replace. After leaving out in the rain and getting leaf droppings on them, I took covers off to clean. Put in washer because there was no spot cleaning that was going to clean these. It took 6 washings to get stains somewhat acceptable. Covers did not shrink in wash but are not as crisp looking.

Overall, I wish these were avail in another color. I will keep but unfortunately will be forced to watch the weather forecast each day when I leave the house. Also, I will cringe every time my 4 year old eats a popsicle nearby.

The one good thing is that the cushions are reversable so you can flip over to get another use out of them if they do get dirty. I will just have to be more carefull which is a pain for a patio set.

ABsolutely need back cushions. I bought 20inch pillows at frontgate outlet and a rectangular one for the chaise. Looks really pretty when clean.

Just perfect for this price5
I admit that you will need to get some cushions for the back for all items in this set but it's just great value for this price even without those. The plastic material has no problem with heat or rain and we have had plenty of that lately. I do take seats into the house during bad weather because those are not weather proof. The covers for the seats come off with a zipper and we died our cushions a darker color so they wouldn't stain too much. It worked and looks great. I also found cushions for the back, 22" x 22", and after sitting for a while they 'form' to where they are perfect size. All in all a great buy that we are really happy with and would certainly buy again.

just what we were looking for4
We purchased this lounge sofa along with a center seat and armchair opposite side to make a full piece for our new patio enclosure.

The products (all three pieces) are great and just what we were looking for. Ours will be covered all of the time on the screened porch, but still are obviously sturdy enough to put up with weather, etc. The are stiff and hard, but they're not made to be loungers in themselves...we've added some large pillows for the back.

The only negative are the cushions are off-white, and with our little dog stepping on them they looked dirty the first day. There are no cleaning instructions or material/content notes on the tags for the cushions, so we're not sure yet how we'll clean. I'd suggest scotch-guarding or something of that nature as soon as you unbox them.

However, overall they are a great looking, sturdy set up for patio furniture that I'd recommend highly.
