Low-Maintenance, Solid Eucalyptus Outdoor Deep Seating Collection

Comments about Plowhearth Eucalyptus Deep Seating Collection:

Bought loveseat, chair, endtable + 2 additional chairs about 4 years ago. Love the wood, and "look" but... seats too deep, backs not high enough = not very comfy w/o extra pillows; had to add reinforcing L brackets in center back of loveseat; nubby natural fabric & forest green fabric still ok but floral fabric rotted out in 2 seasons; P&H will sell 2 replacement cushion sets for 3/4 cost of buying the loveseat as of today's price on web. Hard to find replacement cushions elsewhere.

I purchased two sets of the loveseat, chair and table and one sofa four years ago. They still look great, are super comfortable and easy to clean. I just purchased another sofa and ottoman last week to add to my collection. Highly recommended. I have the floral pattern and textured linen.

We purchased these several years ago for the covered porch on the front of our house. We leave them out all winter(Wisconsin) and the only maintenance we do is bring the cushions in in the Winter and oil the set once each Spring.
**Important** It is necessary to have a lumbar pillow on this chair as it is a deep seating chair. However if you do, the seating is extremely comfortable and we sit out and read on ours all Summer long. Very relaxing and comfortable onceyou have the lumbar pillow in place.

Bought this 6-7 years ago when we lived in TN, and a move and half a decade later with 3 kids and 6 pets they are still all in one piece and functional. We have the chair, loveseat, round table and one end table. Are they the heaviest, finest pieces? Well no, but the price reflects that, and although a but wobbly they are comfy to sit on and have held up on a covered deck and a covered porch without any real maintaince for all these years. Our cats and dogs sleep on them and our kids spill on them, and frankly other than the moss that has grown on a few (I told you, no maintaince!) the antique floral still looks good, especially from across the porch. Well worth the money we spent on them all those years ago! The back is low, so for short people such as myself can be a bit awkward, but some cheap outdoor throw pillows fixed that problem easy for us. Would not want a taller set on my front porch anyway, our windows are tall and low and a higher back would block them too much. Cushions are still comfy too, have held up very well considering the lack of care.

Overall we are pleased. We are tall and long-legged family so we find this furniture comfortable and useful. Not so with our height-challenged friends. Love the material on the cushions and the wood is holding up in the Texas sun and heat.

Comments about Plowhearth Eucalyptus Deep Seating Collection:

Liked it so much & was so comfortable that I purchased covers so it will last forever! Easy to assemble & came with extras of all fasteners which is great when you are assembling over decking where a bolt may fall through the cracks.
High quality, dries after rain in minutes because of repelling quality of materials.
P & H customer service really worked hard with shipping to my rural home where I have issues with UPS freight. They went above & beyond working out those issues for me & were really friendly while doing it.
End of the year pricing brought this high end product down to the price of junk seating sets I had seen in the stores when looking locally.
Not one second of buyers remorse here. Only wish I could keep my cat off of it, she really loves it also!!

Use the furniture in living room. Bought so I could change cushion colors when wanted to. Not much of a color selection and hard to find replacement cushions. Otherwise,I can't complain.

Great looking, durable ootoman that cleans up easily. Cutting rug grip to fit & putting it under the cushions to keep them in place worked nicely. Perfect height & size for the matching sofa & chairs. Cushions are very thick & plush.

Great looking, durable chair that cleans up easily. It's the best with a lumbar support pillow and ottoman, relaxing, but not supportive chair for those that need it. Cutting rug grip to fit & putting it under the cushions to keep them in place worked nicely. Great chair to relax & read a book, cushions are very thick & plush.

Great looking, durable sofa that cleans up easily. If your looking for back support, this is not it. It's the best with a lumbar support pillow and ottoman. We like the causal, slouchy feel, but some would not. It is VERY deep, but nicely relaxing with the ottoman. Cutting rug grip to fit & putting it under the cushions to keep them in place worked nicely. Great sofa to nap on, cushions are very thick & plush.

Needed table for porch. Right size and with a tung-
oil finish it is great!!!!

Comments about Plowhearth Eucalyptus Deep Seating Collection:

I love taking a book out on the porch on a summer day and reading on this couch. Long and wide enough to lie on (I'm 5'10") and take a nap.

Comments about Plowhearth Eucalyptus Deep Seating Collection:

[...] Once together, they are not comfortable, no matter how many pillows/cushions we use - seat is deep, arms too low, too far off the ground - perhaps they'd be best as table/dining chairs, but on their own as "side chairs", they don't work.

Comments about Plowhearth Eucalyptus Deep Seating Collection:

We love what the furniture looks like, but if we hadn't been able to have firm pillows made for the back of the chair and loveseat, and re-drilled the center support on the back of the loveseat & through-bolted it, and then shaved it to the same height as the two outside legs, we would have returned it!
As odd as it seems, we are happy with the end result, but if we had known what we would have to go through to get there, we wouldn't have bought it!

Comments about Plowhearth Eucalyptus Deep Seating Collection:

Using on exposed roof deck with "deep seating" chairs and love seat. Had a hard time finding a decent looking round coffee table for outside (that wasn't insanely priced). This looks nice, but the slats are uneven, so glasses, especially wine glasses tend to tip.

Comments about Plowhearth Eucalyptus Deep Seating Collection:

We purchased two chairs 3 years ago for our deck and and couldn't be happier. They have held up great, though I haven't cleaned them yet, and look forward to uncovering them each spring! Love them!

Other reviewers' comments about the back height of this furniture is the reason we didn't buy it sooner. But after countless hours of searching the Internet and local stores for an alternative, we took a leap of faith.
We bought the couch, two chairs and ottoman for the back deck of our country home, which overlooks a creek and waterfalls.
The low profile fits seamlessly with the setting. We ordered the striped cushions, which also complement the landscape, and later added the lumbar cushions. Wish they were more substantial.
When friends come to visit, we encourage them to kick off their shoes and settle in to the deep seating.
The couch is absolutely perfect for an afternoon nap or gazing up at the stars.
Spot-cleaning the cushions is a breeze after the occasional bird "fly-by" or dropped snack. Assembly took only a matter of minutes. Balancing the pieces could be a little awkward for someone working solo.
"It's hard to criticize," said my husband. But he suggests that an optional higher back on the seating (maybe a foot higher) would send sales soaring.
Though the nights already are cool in this area, we intend to keep this furniture outside well into fall. Earlier this week, I bought a fleece throw so that we can curl up in comfort for many weeks to come.

Comments about Plowhearth Eucalyptus Deep Seating Collection:

The chair and ottomans are fine - went together easily, feel secure. The couch is a totally different story. Unstable, wobbly, creaks and cracks when people sit on it, etc. Always hold my breath when a "larger" person sits down or when more than 2 people sit on it at once. There is a support piece that goes in the middle of the couch that doesn't fit properly (we've taken then couch apart twice to start completely over to make sure we're doing it correctly) and has broken off once already (only 2 months old). The part that supports your back is very loose. The deep seating on both the couch and chair are way too deep. We have to supplement the cushions with new pillows and lumbar supports. Shorter people can't even touch the ground with their feet when they are sitting all the way back. Very uncomfortable - too much work trying to make it work. All in all, not satisfied at all, but it's too large to ship back so we're stuck.

I bought this sofa so we could stretch out while reading on our porch. It works fine for that. As advertized, it is deep seating--too deep. The back of the sofa slants too far backwards-almost like a recliner. Even after adding a row of pillows in front of the pillows provided, my husband, 5'9'', finds himself leaning too far back. I'm 5'4", and feel like a little kid sitting on a too big sofa-my knees don't reach the edge. The pillows are very thick, but too firm for our taste. With such thick bottom pillows, you are seated too high to place your arm comfortably on the side arm rest. The polyester pillow fabric is a coarse weave that is not comfortable on the skin. I bought the stone color, which is more yellowish than tan. Overall, I don't think the sofa is well designed. It is "workable" but far from great.

My wife loves the printed seat cushions.
I am still leary of the durability on this
product.Hope I'm wrong.

Comments about Plowhearth Eucalyptus Deep Seating Collection:

Like the depth of the couch and chair, but the back is too low. Comes to mid-back - you'll want to purchase pillows to prop up your neck.

Overall, it's perfect for a couple or small gathering. Easy to assemble.

Fits nicely on my 8X10 deck. Very comfortable seating. Love the wood!

We searched high and low for a patio set to meet our needs but couldn't find anything we liked. We went to the Plow and Hearth Outlet outstide Charlottesville, VA and saw this wonderful set and knew that we had to have it. I ordered on-line [...] It was very easy to assemble so we were able to enjoy our new patio set within hours of receiving it. Great purchase.

Comments about Plowhearth Eucalyptus Deep Seating Collection:

These chairs are great! My husband and I are plus size and finding a decent outdoor chair that we could be comfortable in was a challenge. We have two of the deep seat chairs and just got an end table to complete our wish list. The cushions are plush and comfortable. The eucalyptus has a beautiful look to it, very sophisticated, high quality and sturdy. The only thing that might be nice is a higher back version that you could lean your head back on. That would be perfect for that extra level of comfort.

Comments about Plowhearth Eucalyptus Deep Seating Collection:

Beautifully constructed coffee table and just the perfect height. Matches with a bench we purchased locally. We,also, purchased a chair from Plow and Hearth making it a very nice set for our patio.

Comments about Plowhearth Eucalyptus Deep Seating Collection:

I bought this sofa, two chairs and an ottoman. All pieces are easy to assemble, however a piece on the sofa hand to be cut down to make the back section more stable - I had to hire someone to do that. I was attracted to the deep seating sofa to be able to take naps on the porch. The sofa will be better for naps than to sit upright on. As with the chairs, I find these a bit too deep, and I am six feet tall. I do get compliments on the appearance of the set.

Comments about Plowhearth Eucalyptus Deep Seating Collection:

I'm tall and thought that deep seating would be comfortable. These chairs are a little too deep for me. I need at least one lumbar pillow. The seat backs creek when someone flops into the chair and I wonder if they will eventually break.

Comments about Plowhearth Eucalyptus Deep Seating Collection:

The round coffee table is perfect. It is the right size-neither too small nor too large-for our patio and seating group. The height is perfect!

Comments about Plowhearth Eucalyptus Deep Seating Collection:

The large size of the ottoman is good, however, the cushion is not affixed to the frame. Anytime one moves the cushion falls off. A strap to connect the cushion to the frame is definitely needed!

Comments about Plowhearth Eucalyptus Deep Seating Collection:

I was only disappointed that several wooden plugs were missing but a call to Plow and Hearth was made and replacements were mailed. I did buy pieces from this group 2 years ago and noted that the stain on the newer pieces is darker and the framework is slightly different, i.e., straight rather than curved, and slightly thinner than the older pieces.
