We're about 2 weeks out from finishing a 12x24 back porch, the end stage of an addition and most-of-the-house reno, and I'm suddenly realizing that furnishing it is going to be more complicated than I realized. Good outdoor furniture is $$, there are massive supply chain issues, and I'm hesitant to spend real money on seating that I can't test out in person. This will be an extension of our daily living space for a good chunk of the year, so I really want furniture that's comfortable for a small family of tall men (plus me).

I found a discounted floor model this sofa below. I really like it but the coordinating chairs would be too long a wait and well beyond my comfort zone for cost. Obviously dark brown faux wicker isn't hard to find, but I'd rather get something that is deliberately contrasting rather than a near-miss. Looking for any creative ideas/suggestions for additional before I pull the trigger on the sofa itself. My only real alternative right now would be to buy a sectional online - I've seen some that look good and have good reviews, but it just feels like a huge gamble....
