Looks great OP, very clean! Did you angle the backrest at all or is it all square?
The backrest is square, but you don't notice it with the thickness of the cushions. It might be a tad uncomfortable with thinner cushions though. If I were to make it again I'd probably give it a bit of an angle.
Yeah definitely looks comfy with the fluffy cushions. Very nice!
It does look clean. How does a 90 degree back rest feel? Have you sat on it without the cushions?
It's a bit boney without the cushions, but taking them off also makes it deeper, so you're leaning back more. If you were planning on going without cushions I'd probably put two 2x4s across the back at a slight angle, but you'd probably have to reconfigure how they attach to the arms then.
