I was concerned about buying an expensive plastic table...  This set is very good quality and sturdy/heavy.  The chairs arrived in one box and the table in another.  One only has to attach the legs which is easy to do...no tools.  I got the gray color which is not as dark as charcoal, but not too light to show dirt, etc.  The chairs are comfy without cushions.  It's the perfect size for my "smallish" deck!
