This appears to be a well-built, sturdy set. The chairs and table are a good weight, so we won't have to worry about it being blown over in a wind. No assembly required on the table. It folds up nicely for storage. The chairs are very comfortable and roomy. Chair assembly was a bit tedious with the number of bolts that had to be tightened sequentially. They are also located in places that can be a bit difficult to reach with the Allen wrench. So be patient! Tightening the bolts in rotation will ensure that the holes line up with each other. The set looks lovely on our patio!
