John Lewis shoppers are praising a "sturdy and very comfortable" two-seater garden sofa that is adding a stylish finish to their outdoor spaces. The Salsa Two-Seater Rattan Style Garden Sofa has been described as looking "more expensive" than the £165 price tag and some users have had the "versatile" outdoor furniture for years with it still going strong. 

Having "survived the vagaries of all seasons with next to no fading in two hot summers", the long-lasting £165 John Lewis buy is £135 cheaper than the similar style Dram Rattan Bench at Wayfair. Designed with an eye-catching shape and made from powder-coated steel and a 'rattan style' material, the garden sofa comes fully assembled for immediate use. 

Stylish shoppers have the option to choose from a neutral and classic rattan tone, or they could add vibrancy ahead of the summer months by opting for a green avacado shade and deep burgundy damson.

A trendy touch to any balcony, patio or garden, the John Lewis Salsa Garden Sofa has recieved positive reivews on the brand's website. Among them, one happy shopper said: "It's light to move around, comfier than it looks, and cushions jazz it up nicely. The sort of small, casual seat you could happily move around the garden or in and out of a summer house. I might just buy another in a different colour as my original one has been versatile and great value." 

A second wrote: "Bought to refurbish an unused corner of the patio and I'm delighted. It's very sturdy, very comfortable and with a couple of outdoor cushions it really cheers the garden." 

While a third added: "Just what I was after to brighten up the patio. Comfortable and lasting well in the crazy summer weather. Dog approved." 

However, users have warned that you should check the dimensions as the H81.5 x W114.5 x D68cm structure cannot be de-assembled and some found it didn't fit through their doors. For smaller garden furniture, consider the John Lewis Salsa Garden Chair Set that is £149. 

Other matching items including the Salsa Round Garden Coffee Table and the Salsa 4-Seater Garden Lounge Set to complete your garden transformation. Alternatively, Marks and Spencer are selling the Lois Garden Sofa for £139 and over at Dunelm you can nab this Rattan Bench for £49.
