Homestyles Grayton Gray Aluminum Outdoor Aluminum Sofa

This is a very sturdy and beautiful item that looks great on my patio. The simplicity of this piece is what I love. It's not too big or too small, but looks just perfect and is also very comfortable.

This is a beautiful, modern, sturdy piece and I love how it looks. However there are a few design flaws I'm shocked nobody else has said in a review. %231, the bottom cushion (which I love because it's one piece and not three) slides straight through to the back if you hit it with the back of your knees when you're sitting down. Nothing keeps it from flying off the sofa! %232, the metal piece which is the back of this sofa and holds the back cushions, is 25" from the ground! That's about the height of a side table next to your sofa! So if you sit back in this sofa, the cushions keep going because nothing is holding them up. Basically you can't sit back in this sofa, you lie down. I am so sad about these simple issues that the manufacturer could easily fix. Put a stop on the back of the seat cushion and make the metal bar that holds your back, about 10" higher. This piece would be absolutely perfect if these were fixed. I bought two to be across from each other and have only opened one. I'm conflicted about sending them back since I love how they look but don't want another item in my house that is pretty but uncomfortable. Also, the bag of hardware was open and all the hardware spilled out into the box (which had multiple holes in it) so I was worried we'd be missing lots of pieces but weren't. At least for the first one.
