Can’t wait to see how it holds up but it works perfect for our space and our family of 4. Lots of table room for eating and the chairs are comfortable without pads. We got a rug (7’6” square) and everything is under the pergola (sheltered from the worst of the weather that might warp or crack the wood). We will get a cover for it for the winter and plan to use Howard’s wood care each season to keep the wood in good shape. Assembly was pretty easy. For those that complain of wobbles, be sure to follow the instruction to drop the chairs before all the bolts are tightened. That worked great for us.
