We love this outdoor patio set. The chairs are very comfortable and no cushions are needed. The table surface is pretty flat so dishes and glasses will sit on the table without falling over. We paid for assembly, which was so worth it. There was one bolt that was stripped but Wayfair customer service was excellent and provided a replacement part and sent someone to take care of it. No regrets with this purchase!  We look forward to using this for many years to come.
