We accidentally assembled the griffen 3-pc seating set with the triangular center table closer in the back and wider apart in the front. leaving it that way made the seating more open, less intimate. it worked on our uncovered front stoop as it is the only furniture. the adjustable rubber feet allow for level sitting in defiance of an uneven stone surface. great for morning coffee or evening wine watching the world pass by. we purchased in may of 2015. it has held up without rust or major wear and tear despite a tough january storm season, plenty of rain in early spring, a hot summer, and an unfortunate candle wax spill (cleaned with plenty of elbow grease on all those grates).
