It seems to always be a rush by the merchant to get a review before you really have time to evaluate the product. At any rate, the set seems to be durable and assembly was very simple. My wife and I love the way the chairs feel and look on our front porch. So far, so good. Time will be the ultimate judge, but from a very early and/or young perspective, the set seems to be a good purchase. At the very least, we are comfortable sitting in the chairs (they seem durable) and as stated, we love the look on our porch.
