The table and benches are beautiful! They are very heavy which is perfect for our deck on the breezy coast. We assembled everything fairly easily , although I knock off a star for quite a few stripped screws which my husband readjusted where he could. Since the table will be living outside on the wet Northcoast we applied teak oil for extra protection of the uv rays and the elements. I would like to rate again in six months to a year to comment on how the set weathers and ages . I would recommend this product for beauty , function and price.
