This is really a fantastic dining set for our patio, and much needed in our hot climate (with a house in the midst of remodeling chaos). The table is sturdy and cleans up really well. I love the curve of the chair legs; makes for a really nice design element. Chairs are quite comfortable. The cushions are pretty basic, but they do the job. I imagine we'll have to replace them next summer or the one after, but that's no big deal. We've even already had a freak all day long rain storm and the whole set (including cushions) came through great. Everything was packed very well and I was able to put together by myself without any issues. Extremely happy with this purchase!
