In all honesty, the quality of the wood is just terrible. I’ve never seen so many tear outs! I’ve never seen such large wood putty chunks fall out of a piece of furniture. I’m ok with it though. NO ONE can beat the price. I put them outside in my garden and no one can see any defects. The chairs are super comfortable, they fold up when I want to put them away and were not very difficult  to put together. The table was already assembled and also folds up. I’m going to slap a coat of poly on them so they last longer. I’m very satisfied with my purchase.
