Strathwood St. Thomas Cast Aluminum 2-Seater Loveseat with Cushion

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 chose to buy 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 ordinarily costs. Strathwood even includes very nice cusions! We chose 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 question? The packaging was wonderful and it was about as accurate as you can get to immediate gratification…quick delivery! The pieces that had to be assembled were very simple to assemble and they built-in all the small 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 count more pieces to our set!

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 prearranged several items from this collection and have been please with all of them. I like this piece and the bent 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.

The total 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 regularly didnt have all the pieces i was looking for. So, I finished up buying the total 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 (really 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 clean 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 small rumpled. These indents seem to smooth out again, so far they have not been permanent.

Also, i wish the set had built-in a stand for the umbrella, a 3 person sofa and an ottoman, but u can’t have all The fire pit and ice bucket were nice extras, though.

Basically, it comes down to this. It is a very excellent set for the price and so far i am quite pleased with it.

This is an absolutely gorgeous piece of outdoor furniture, and at an incredibly reasonable price. Other merchants would charge the same price for just the 5″ thick, perfectly upholstered seat cushion. The loveseat arrives fully assembled – just remove the fake and padding, place 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.
