Once the chairs were put together the set looks very nice. It is comfortable, but, I think the table will outlast the chairs. I gave it three stars because of the difficulty with assembling the chairs. My husband is pretty handy but the first chair took 2 hours. He finally used wood glue to hold the washers onto the backs and screwed in the screws just enough to hold them in place; let them sit overnight; and had no problem after that. For the price it's a nice looking set.
