Tanso 2-Seat Sofa

Common Questions
Can it stay outdoors all year?
The teak frame, yes — Grade A teak is highly weather-resistant and simply silvers with age. The UV-resistant polyester cushions handle sun and showers, but storing them indoors during long wet spells extends their life.
Does it work indoors too?
Yes. The detailing is deliberately refined so the sofa reads as furniture, not garden equipment — it suits sunrooms and indoor-outdoor living spaces as well as terraces.
Is assembly required?
Yes, assembly is required on delivery. At 289 pounds assembled, plan its final position first — this is a sofa that stays where you put it.
