Easy to assemble, sturdy and looks nice!  My family loves it!  Its been about a couple months and surviving Seattle rain so far.  I normally put the cushions away in the evening, to keep them clean, but I forgot to do so once and it dried up pretty quickly.  Im planning to stain the chairs and the table to avoid the discoloring from our wet weather.  Due to the simple design, it will be very easy to stain.
