More conducive to conversation.

by far the best.

go for the corner i would

This one is gorgeous and creates a more intimate feel.

Like the L-shape- more functional. And you are going to want those back cushions!

it's more for a backyard thing.

I like the versatility of this sofa. I noticed you have a 2-year-old daughter and with the versatility, it could be fun to make it cozier by moving the furniture around sometimes for playtime or a cool evening with a blanket and a book. Also, the darker color will not show the nasty outdoor smut as soon as a lighter fabric. The only negative is the caring of the teak, but crate and barrel seems to be on top of that by already mentioning a care kit. That color is also a nice neutral to go with a variety of colors so you can interchange pillows and outdoor decor for any season.

This looks too comfy to pass up. No point in investing in a cheap set that's not comfortable. Plus I like this setup - very inviting for conversation.

i like the L shape. And by the time you bought extra cushions for the less expensive one, you would probably spend the same amount.

This is my favorite of the three

classy and I love the colors!

Feels more inviting
