Is the Article Outdoor Modular Sectional worth $2,279?

If you want a high back and a solid wood frame, yes. Cheaper wicker sectionals cost less but usually have lower backs and hollow frames. At $2,279 it is at the top of its recent range, so waiting for a sale could save money.

How long does assembly take?

Plan on 60 minutes or more, and two people help with the larger pieces. The boxes arrive at 22 x 38 x 42 inches and the finished sofa weighs 143 pounds.

Can it stay outside in rain and winter?

Olefin resists moisture and mildew, and acacia is a durable outdoor wood. Still cover it or store cushions in freezing winters, and oil the frame yearly to prevent cracking.

How many people does it seat?

The 102.75-inch square layout seats four to five adults comfortably. The 19.5-inch seat depth is shallower than a living room sofa, so tall users may find it snug.

What is included in the box?

You get the modular frame sections, seat and back cushions, and the hardware needed for assembly. Throw pillows are not included.

When is the best time to buy?

Article discounts outdoor furniture most in late summer and around major holiday sales. The current $2,279 is near the high end of its range, so a markdown is plausible.

Our take on the Article Outdoor Modular Sectional

The Article Outdoor Modular Sectional is a deep-seat patio sofa built on a solid acacia wood frame and wrapped in 100% olefin fabric in Basket Beige. It measures about 103 inches square with a 35-inch back, an 18-inch seat height and 19.5-inch seat depth, and the modular pieces let you rearrange the layout. Assembly takes an hour or more. At $2,279 it sits at the top of its recent range, so it is a premium pick rather than a bargain.
