This outdoor table set is great! There were a couple of issues with some of the screws not going in as they should, but we worked at it until we got it but overall, not bad putting together.  Looks beautiful outside.  I like the seating of 6 better but 8 works well too.  The end chairs do not go all the way in have all 6 center chairs in but its fine for us.  My husband sprayed clear coat varnish on the wood slabs before setting them in.  Love this set especially for the price.
