BEAUTIFUL SET. Very good quality and sturdy. I get compliments on this set all the time. Pictures don't do it justice. I will say, it is a pain to put together. A tip: screw in all the screws of each stool loosely, then go back and sit it on a flat surface and hold it down on the top to get it to level out, then continue to tighten all the screws in. That way, you won't have a problem with it being uneven. Works great on my townhouse balcony.
