Living in California it is all about being outdoors. Unfortunately the cushions of this piece are not very comfortable. Part of that is because there isn't enough support resistance from the Rattan frame. We're looking to figure out how to better reinforce the rattan from underneath and hope that makes a change, but overall... after 6 months of moderate use, the only halfway sturdy place to sit is where the sections meet. Sturdy does not equal comfy.
