I've been looking all summer for a bistro set to put in an alcove off my front door. Most were too narrow to sit comfortably. With the arms, the chair are just a little wider and the back not as severe making it quite comfortable for the type of chair it is. I also love the option of the ice bucket/ wine cooler, but having a closed top when not in use. Gave it only 4 stars because its much lighter weight than other sets I've looked at and there's also many cautions about keeping it out of the sun and the rain which for a patio set is a little bit strange. It does spot when wet but a quick wipe when wet is all it needs. I put  it on the back patio because I think we'll use this a lot more with the wine cooler than having it just as a decorative piece out front. Considering buying a 2nd one for the front.
