Redwood 2x4 outdoor sofa (Cushions on order, due Monday)

I love Ana White's 2x4 sofa project. I chose a couple of upgrades: bought redwood 2x4's and a pocket-hole jig to reduce visibility of screw holes and, of course, installed the additional side and back rails. I finished with Tung oil and then read the directions on the can afterwards: 'This product is intended for interior projects only!' Oh well.

We ordered these cushions: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Arden-Selections-Plush-BlowFill-Sapphire-Blu…
which were rather expensive but I read too many negative reviews from customers who bought and used cheap cushions.

This was the perfect project for a retiree with too much time on his hands and some basic building skills.

Thank you for this!
