The Polywood Chippendale furniture is very well made. It is heavy (a good thing!), easy to put together (you only need to put the legs on the table; the chairs come assembled), and the seats are surprisingly comfortable, even without cushions. There is a hole pre-drilled in the table so that you can use an umbrella (and the set comes with a plug for the hole in case you opt for no umbrella). The table is not huge (good for a small terrace or patio) but it is large enough to seat 6 people comfortably. I selected the gray color and it is as shown in the photos. It complements nicely a gray Cape Cod house and flagstone terrace.
