Soo many compliments from friends and family members on this set.  Very sturdy and easy to put together.  It looks so nice it could even be used indoors.  We have one bench sitting down on our dock right now, and it's sturdy enough to stay put through high winds.  The wood on the table and benches looks beautiful and cleans up easy.  Very happy with this purchase... and the price was 50% less than other wood picnic tables... and I love that the benches are detached!
