Turns out it was too late to cancel. It shipped faster than expected and will arrive tomorrow. I'm resigned to checking it out, but am likely to try to return.

Re storage of cushions. I have a crate in a climate controlled warehouse that just needs a couple days notice to access. I've had it years under the original contract. Dirt cheap compared to current prices so I'm not likely to ever give it up. I figured the cushions and teak bits would be best stored there in our long rainy season.
