Customer Rating:      Summary: Afraid of outdoor white? Don't be! Comment: So outside of the fact these chairs clearly look good and are very comfortable I wanted to share what it is like to maintain these cushions. As you can see the cushions are white. I was a bit scared of this at first, as they are outside chairs. DON'T be, the water beads up on them and falls off leaving no spots. These can easily be hosed down to get rid of dirt.. ALSO these are one of the few cushions i have ever owned that you can actually zip off the cover and wash them! Don't be afraid of the white outdoors!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Love this line! Comment: I bought 4 of the deep seat arm chairs for around our firepit and they look awesome! I also ordered a side table and the 3 cushion sofa. They are all great quality and look much more expensive then they are. I like the fact that they are off white because then they won't fade as much in the sun. I highly recommend this product line.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Go ahead and click BUY! Comment: I am so thrilled with this product line that I just had to leave a positive review (somthing I've never felt stongly about before this). After spending hours/days/weeks online looking for a quality set I could afford, I finally found Strathwood's Falkner Collection. Each piece is welded throughout, no rivets or screws, and no assembly. The design is equally comparable to Frongate, Pottery Barn, and Ballard Designs. The cusions are well made, as long as you've resigned yourself to white and it's up-keep. I've purchased 9 pieces and couldn't be happier. In addition, I received the set within 5 days...an additional plus.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Glad I found it! Comment: I bought 1 two-seater sofa, 1 armchair set, 2 ottomans, 1 coffee table and 2 side tables in this line.
Couple of days after enjoying them on my deck, I have to say, I am excited about my purchase!!
I have reviewed the 2 seater sofa and details re the frame and the fabric can be found there. Overall, excellent quality, very comfy cushions. Color-wise, yes they do tend to get dirty; however great purchase for the price.
The chair-ottoman combo: I bought both since I knew I would not want to use them unless they were absolutely comfy. This combo is...heaven. I have parked outside ever since they arrived. I do not think you *need* ottomans because the chairs are indeed deep (seat cushions are 30") - yet, they become even more enjoyable with ottomans.
Overall, awesome quality for awesome price! Definitely comparable to Restoration H, S&H, PB, C&B quality!
One more note: I went to RH today and sat on their cushions. Their cushions are definitely nicer. However, for this season I can definitely enjoy my current cushions.
Customer Rating:      Summary: What a bargain!!! Comment: These chairs (and the rest of the set) are fabulous! They are very very similar to sets sold by both Restoration Hardware and Plow & Hearth, but for a mere fraction of the price.
As others have said, I am not too impressed with the cushions, but the sizes are fairly standard so finding replacement cushions is pretty easy (and even after buying new cushions, the chairs are still significantly cheaper than those sold by other retailers). I recommend keeping an eye on the Restoration Hardware website. They have outdoor cushions on sale all the time, and if you happen to hit it when they first list a particular line on sale, it is easy to get a full set (dining chairs, lounge furniture, chaises, ottomans, etc.) I just bought fabulous replacement Sunbrella cushions from Restoration Hardware for six Strathwood Falkner dining chairs , 2 lounge chairs, a loveseat and a couple chaise lounges for roughly $600 in total. It would cost a small fortune at full price (over $2500!!), but on sale it was more than manageable. GOOD LUCK!
