This set is a great deal and has a special look. The benches in particular have a design element that makes them stand out. The wood is also a lovely color—very warm. It was super easy to assemble and isn’t terrible heavy—we carried to our 5th floor roof deck ourselves. The only thing to note (which if we had been paying better attention to the dimensions we would have) is that the benches are the same length as the table so they don’t push in underneath.
