Plan your seating area
Measure the full seating footprint and leave room for walkways and nearby tables. Compare seat width and depth with how you want to lounge. For multi-piece arrangements, check the exact components and orientation included rather than relying on the main photograph.
Materials & exposure
Review each model’s frame, upholstery, cushion, and finish specifications. Outdoor materials still need care appropriate to their exposure. Follow the manufacturer’s guidance for cleaning, covers, cushion storage, and seasonal protection; do not assume a design is waterproof.
Delivery & setup
Measure gates, doors, stairs, and elevators along the delivery route. Check package sizes, assembly requirements, and whether cushions or covers are included. For rooftop or raised-deck placement, confirm site suitability with your building team before ordering.
