I am so glad I purchased this set!! It is as absolutely gorgeous in person as it is in the photo, and the chairs are COMFORTABLE. I like that it is very sturdy. The table was a little difficult to put together; it may be easier for people who are handy or used to putting things together but it took my Dad and I an about three to four hours to assemble all five pieces. That said, it was worth it! It is something I will enjoy on my deck for many, many years to come. I would definitely recommend it!
