I shopped around for some time before deciding to purchase this set.  My husband seemed to have no problems putting it together.  It looks wonderful on our back patio.  We have a lot of dust and wind in Amarillo so a grill type tabletop (instead of glass) which would not accumulate dust was what I wanted.  The table and chairs have a substantial feel to them which looks much more expensive than others I looked at.  I think it was a wonderful price.  I know my family will be able to enjoy it for years.  I would recommend it to anyone.  It's really lovely.
