Overall this was a great purchase. The set looks better than I expected, at least new out of the box. Given that it is on my covered patio I expect it to last a long time but if you're leaving it uncovered, I imagine it would wear more quickly. The set looks great and is very comfortable and solid, especially given the price point. Overall I'd recommend this. 

The one issue I had was the quality of the packing. When I received my set, the box looked fine but the top piece of the table was cracked very severely. AllModern was great and got me a new one quickly, but it was not ideal. In the new box, some of the little bags with hardware (bolts, etc) opened up in the box so I had to go fishing for everything. I'd give the set 4.5 starts if I could for this reason, but now that it is put together I'm very happy with it so I'm going with 5 stars.
