You start with this piece. Or end with it. Doesn’t really matter. It works as a corner if you’re building something bigger, but it’s solid enough to stand on its own too. The cushions are weighty, not too soft. The back hits at a comfortable angle—you lean in without thinking about it. Fabric feels durable. Not plasticky. It handles sun, light rain, the usual stuff. If it gets messy, you wipe it down. You can get it with the black cover or without. Depends how much you want to protect it. Either way, it’s one of those pieces you stop noticing because it just works.
