Lounge pieces continue to rise in popularity as cushions become more generously plush. Whether accenting woven, aluminum or wrought iron designs, the comfort value is as important as style. Deep seating has become an integral category in the industry as homeowners find they can truly have fashionable, seemingly indoor pieces for their back yards.
