We have a very large covered front porch. This set adds to the wicker conversation seating at one end. It allows us to eat, snack, or just set up higher to see whats going on. The set was easy to put together if you used your own wrench and screwdriver. The tools supplied with the fasteners are ok if you have three hands. Not a complaint, just a heads up to anyone buying and assembling the chairs and table themselves. We like the high top table and swivel chairs very much.
