This is an absolutely beautiful piece of outdoor furniture, and at an incredibly reasonable price. Other merchants would charge the same price for just the 5" thick, beautifully upholstered seat cushion. The loveseat arrives fully assembled - just unwrap the plastic and padding, put the cushion on, and sit down! I bought the matching chairs, and they are just as lovely. I will be watching for more furniture items from this company.

I purchased the whole set about a year ago. For the price I paid, I almost wish I had saved it and gotten somethign else. Don't get me wrong...I love the way it looks and holds up. The chairs are very comfortable and the side table/ice chest things are a nice touch. But, I noticed the other day that one of the legs on the bench looked bent, and when I looked at it, it has a crack and there is a good chance it will break soon. This is after the glider/rocker chair broke while my brother and his girlfriend were sitting in it. Keep in mind...no one who has sat on the furniture is "larger" (I think the largest person to sit on my furniture was in the 220 lbs range, and that was only once). Luckily, I know someone who can weld...

The whole St. Thomas collection is very nice for the price. I was looking for both a dining and seating group and was quite discouraged elsewhere. Other things i looked at were were way out of price range from $5000 to around $10,000 and cheaper groups often didnt have all the pieces i was looking for. So, I ended up buying the whole st. thomas set.
Upsides are:
1. the nice design of the peices
2. very comfortable seating (my husband is 6'5 and was impressed by how comfy the seats were for him, they are kind of on the high side). I especially like the motion chairs.
3. The cushions on all the pieces are really thick and seem well made. The color is off white/light tan and exactly what i was looking for (actually hard to find).
4. Set came with touch up paint if needed
5. You can seat 6 around the dining table. I was worried about this because i wanted a table for 6. From the website i couldnt tell, so at first i only bought 4 chairs. After i got the set I could tell that 6 chairs would fit and bought another 2. I bought the regular dining chairs , not the ones with the round stand, so i cant vouch for those.

The downside is:
1. the welded joints arent as neat as they could have been, although they still seem sturdy,
2. they get really hot in the sun (i had a set before that had a coating that stayed cooler),
3. the cushions leave indents after sitting in them making them look a little rumpled. These indents seem to smooth out again, so far they have not been permanent.

Also, i wish the set had included a stand for the umbrella, a 3 person sofa and an ottoman, but u can't have everything :) The fire pit and ice bucket were nice extras, though.
Basically, it comes down to this. It is a very good set for the price and so far i am quite happy with it.

Just received the Strathwood St. Thomas bench today, along with 4 dining chairs, 2 swivel chairs, side table, and dining table. Delivery was prompt and went smoothly. The packaging was so well done, and necessary assembly on some of the items took only minutes, and the tools were provided. The furniture looks as nice or nicer than sets that are so much more expensive. I researched sets thoroughly, and this one wins hands down.

I ordered several items from this collection and have been please with all of them. I love this piece and the curved back and thick cushion make it much more comfortable than your average bench. My only comment is that the cushion cover is not removable for cleaning but I bring the cushions indoors so they are holding up fine.

We had bought our last set of deck furniture on line and were very disappointed in it. We did a lot of research before we decided to purchase this set. We thought we had looked everywhere but until we found this set on Amazon, we were not ready to spend what nice cast aluminum furniture usually costs. Strathwood even includes very nice cusions! We decided to give it a go and we could not be more pleased with what we got. We bought 10 pieces and are pleased with each and every one! Comfort, quality, and ease of use, what more could we ask? The packaging was wonderful and it was about as close as you can get to immediate gratification...fast delivery! The pieces that had to be assembled were very easy to assemble and they included all the little details that make it so nice...colored screw covers, touch up paint, tools needed. I hope Amazon continues to carry this design because we are thinking about adding more pieces to our set!

I bought the whole set for my new house and absolutely love it. The pieces are well made and look substantial yet are not too heavy. Assembly of the tables was easy. I would recommend this product.

We love our new St. Thomas Furniture!!! We bought the 2 seater Loveseat and 4 of the sturdy cushioned chairs for our existing table. We have been enjoying all our meals outside since the weather here in the Carolinas is now in the beautiful fall season. This sets should last a long time since they are made of Cast Aluminum. We find them very sturdy and with the cushions very comfortable. Love the scroll heart Victorian style designs!! Very Happy with our choices!!

This is lightweight, yet sturdy. Looks beautiful. Just wish now I had purchased the ottoman. Shipping was fast.

I was highly disappointed with this purchase. Front leg bent in more than 2 inches making it wobble. Back leg has split and can not repair the aluminum. Picture is black but seat is really spotted brown. Box was large and perfect condition, so accepted delivery. Too bad. Tried for 2 weeks to return, called source in Calif. 3 times and NO return Calls to return item. Tried to return to Amazon - no satisfaction. Not worth returning since can not be repaired, so I am out $300 for item and shipping costs. What a complete waste.
