I love the simplicity of this patio set. It was simple to put together even though i had a bunch of help/people over. My ONLY complaint is that after leaving it outside during a few days of rain it seems to be rusting, but not on the actual furniture, it is leaving rust stains on my deck. This isnt the end of the world for me as i do plan on bringing it to the basement during winter and heavy storms, and my deck needs to be repainted anyways. Overall I would recommend/purchase again.
