I had had my eye on this set for a long time because it was a real wood bistro set for a good price. Overall it is a great set. I took a star off because after a month of owning it the color started to fade. I don’t think the manufacturer used polyurethane on it to preserve it. Also, the stain that is on the wood is very poorly done. It was able to be scratched off with a fingernail. Good quality wood stain should not do that, but I guess I got what I paid for. I would still buy this set again, but I highly recommend that anyone who gets this also buy some outdoor polyurethane and some wood oil if you are going to expose this set to ANY sunlight. The stain they put on this will not hold by itself.
