This set is sturdy, comfortable and just perfect in the space for which it was purchased. People who sat in it, from a tiny elderly lady to a 6'3" gentleman all commented on how comfortable the chairs were. When I told several people how much I paid for it, they were totally surprised, thinking it was a $500-$1,000 set.  I gifted it to the people who bought the property (I purchased it for staging purposes) and they were over the top excited about the great outdoor furniture.  I highly recommend this set for patios and even for alternative indoor seating.
