I ordered this item at my daughter's request for her birthday. She just received it today and is thrilled. It looks great on her front porch and the color is just right. She sent me 3 texts messages and 4 emails telling me how happy she is with her gift. The chairs and table were packed separately. She said the packaging was very good and assembly only took 30 minutes tops. The chairs have a nice high back and sit comfortably; plus, the table is large enough for her and her fella to have dinner on.
