I absolutely love the look of this piece, and have received so many compliments on it! The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that I'm concerned about how long it will last. There were visible cracks in the wood after the table and benches were only exposed to just one rainfall. We have it covered with a tarp while we look into furniture covers, but if you want this set to last, be aware that it shouldn't be exposed to the elements!
