This is a surprisingly sturdy furniture set. The color is great and the pieces are well made. The chairs look thin but are incredibly sturdy and can hold a decent amount of weight. I was very surprised when I pulled them out of the box that this would be a flimsy set but thankfully it is not. They are outdoors 24/7 and have been able to withstand the weather and still look great. There is no assembly required as the set folds together into a neat package on wheels. The packaging is terrible with horrible styrofoam that chips and splinters everywhere. The packing is wholly inadequate to withstand shipping. Both tables I ordered had a small broken piece at the bottom that didn't, fortunately, preclude me from keeping it and trying to repair it myself. Sending it back would have been a nightmare because once you get it out of the box you'll never get it back in.
