Crosley Bradenton Outdoor Wicker Sectional Center Chair

We shopped for affordable outdoor furniture in various furniture and outdoor/pool stores, and liked this sectional. It was comfortable and attractive without being outrageously priced. So we decided to hunt it down online to ensure we were getting the best price, and voila! we found it at our favorite online store, Hayneedle. We saved about $1700 by ordering it on Hayneedle and assembling it ourselves, which we considered a phenomenal deal. The interior armless chairs assembled easily. The corner pieces were a little tougher, owing to the the fact that the wicker sometimes obscured the bolted areas and the holes were not always properly aligned. This caused a bit of frustration; however, foregoing the washers (in some cases) made assembly possible. Overall, the pieces look lovely and seem pretty durable. It has not gotten extensive use yet. Please note, the pieces do not attach to one another. You can arrange them however you like, but as people move around, the pieces shift around a little. No big deal, but something to know. If we had fewer problems with the assembly, I could rate it higher. As is, I would rate it a 3.5 stars.

I bought the chair, corner chair and loveseat. Beware if you are ordering the loveseat--the picture shown on the drop down box for ""left"" side loveseat is actually on the right side and vice versa. So the wrong side loveseat arrived first. Hayneedle was very good about arranging a FedX pick up of the old one and ordering a new one. However, customer service did not acknowledge their error in showing the wrong side arm for left and right. They really need to fix this or explain that you should order the opposite of what the photo shows. Like the chair and corner chair, it came with the wrong hardware but I anticipated that and bought enough correct screws at the hardware store. The sectional looks great in the screen porch space I have it. It's comfortable but a little slippery and the sections don't have velcro or anything to hold them together.
