This is a nice set of patio furniture, especially for the price. The top is composite decking, which is long lasting and something you don’t need to worry about deteriorating in the elements. My particular table and benches showed up pretty beat up. There were many large and significant scratches to the top of the table and benches. This has to do with how the set is packaged. It is packaged to save on shipping but there are heavy parts on heavy parts, and this is a piece that is supposed to look polished. So ultimately the furniture is well constructed and quality, but due to the packaging you may have something that looks ages before you even receive it.
