Compact, yet attractive, comfortable, and should be durable in any weather.  No assembly on the chairs, and just putting the legs on the table, which was a no brainer!  Takes 15 minutes!  It's not a large set, so it can fit on a small deck, patio, or apartment kitchen.  It's sturdy.  For the price, it's well worth it.  I was happy that my gift was perfect for my brothers new apartment deck.
