Newport Fabric Two Seater Outdoor Modular Sofa

Details at a Glance

Marine-grade plywood frames and solid Accoya wood aren't just construction upgrades -- they're the reason this sofa can hold up under direct sun and summer humidity without the frame warping or the wood rotting out. The Newport Fabric Two Seater Outdoor Modular Sofa from Essentials For Living is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Removable cushions covered in 100% UV polyester resist fade and moisture, and the air fiber polymer core dries fast after unexpected rain.

Will Accoya Wood and Marine-Grade Plywood Hold Up Outdoors?

Accoya wood resists rot, decay, and insect damage naturally, without chemical treatment, making it one of the most stable hardwoods for outdoor furniture. The marine-grade plywood frame is engineered for moisture resistance and structural integrity in humid or wet conditions. The 100% UV polyester fabric won't bleach or fade under direct sun, and the Dacron fiber wrap over an air fiber polymer seat core maintains shape and breathability over multiple seasons. This combination handles UV exposure, humidity, and temperature swings far better than untreated softwoods or standard indoor upholstery.

Do You Have to Bring the Cushions Inside?

The cushions are weather-resistant, not waterproof -- they're built for covered porches and patios, not continuous rain exposure. Store them indoors during heavy rain or when you're not using the sofa for extended periods. The fabric dries quickly if it gets damp, but letting cushions sit soaked shortens their life. Off-season, pull the cushions and store them in a dry spot; the frame can stay outside year-round if you use a furniture cover.

Where Does a Deep Seating Modular Sofa Work Best?

The 20-inch seat depth is designed for lounge-style comfort, so this works best on a covered patio or screened porch where you'll actually sit back and relax. Pair it with additional units from our outdoor modulars collection to build a full sectional, or anchor it with pieces from outdoor accent chairs for a layered seating arrangement. The left-facing or right-facing orientation lets you configure the layout to fit your space, and a weather-resistant coffee table ties the whole setup together.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stay outside all year?

The frame can stay out year-round, but store the cushions indoors during heavy rain, winter, or when the sofa isn't in use for weeks at a time.

Will the fabric fade in direct sun?

The 100% UV polyester fabric is engineered to resist fading and bleaching under direct sunlight.

Is Accoya wood treated with chemicals?

No -- Accoya naturally resists rot, decay, and insects without chemical treatment, making it safer and more stable for outdoor use.

What's the difference between weather-resistant and waterproof cushions?

Weather-resistant cushions handle light moisture and dry quickly, but they're not designed to sit in standing water or continuous rain like truly waterproof marine cushions.

How much does this weigh, and can one person move it?

The sofa weighs 117 lbs, so you'll want help moving it -- especially on a deck or patio where you might need to lift it over railings or stairs.

Does delivery include setup or assembly?

Free curbside delivery is included; white-glove setup, in-room placement, and assembly are available upon request for an additional fee.
