So far so good... I purchased this patio set to sit and look at the Olympics on my deck. The chairs were a bit of a chore to put together but weren't too bad once I figured out how to assemble them. Other people have mentioned in reviews that the holes don't line up. The key here is that the holes in the wicker part maybe don't completely line up but the metal underneath does. I just used a pair of needle pliers to pry apart the wicker to put in the screws and it went ok. For some reason the legs on the table don't appear to be completely straight so I'll need to look into that. I have no idea if the wicker will make it through the rainy Seattle winter or if I'll need to get a cover. We'll see.
