We purchased this 4 piece outdoor patio set after countless hours spent pursuing various bargain websites and stores.  I can unequivocally state that this set is a great value for the price.  We have it on our uncovered deck, and it withstands the rain/elements quite nicely.  It is a tad on the light side so heavy wind will shift the furniture.  There is not a glass top provided, so the picture can be a bit deceiving.  However, I would highly recommend this furniture set if you're looking for something to last and withstand direct sunlight and rain well. The one complaint I have is that it is a bit low to the ground in stature.  However, for a medium sized deck to small deck, the scale it is ideal.
