These chairs and table have been perfect for our outdoor garden. They have been outside the entire spring and summer through all of the heat,  rain, humidity and sun. There has been no fading or rust. The units were very easy to assemble and I have been pleased. They look wonderful and are very comfortable.  I particularly did not want Adirondack chairs because they are difficult to stand from and frankly I find uncomfortable. These chairs with their foot stools are so much more comfortable and a great value.  I would purchase  again.
