This set works really well in our small outdoor patio space. It is, however, a pain to assemble. It took my husband and I about an hour and a half. A lot of the screws did not match up with the holes properly, so we had to do some adjustments. On one of the chairs, we left a screw out entirely. The chair still seems sturdy and has had a few people sit on it, so I'm curious to see how it will hold up. All in all, this is a great product, just be prepared to work to put it together.
