I've only just received the set and haven't used it. It was easy to put together. My 6-year old did some of the chairs. Table is solid and not bowed like another reviewer mentioned. Some chairs came out wobbly but the levelers on the bottom of the legs helped remedy that. Out patio is not so level to begin with. The chairs are comfortable for me (5'3" 115 lbs) but my husband (6'2" more lbs) is wanting cushions.
