We wanted something that will stand the elements and the test of time. The fact that it’s cast aluminum was the key decision feature. 

The item came in really fast (2 days) to Southern California. It was four boxes: one for the table and three for the chairs (2chairs per box). The assembly was relatively easy - took me ~1.5 hours by myself. Instructions were very clear with clear pictures etc. there were extra hardware. Though they give you a simple wrench to tighten the nuts, I recommend using a socket wrench with 9/16” or 14 mm socket. It will really speed up the process. 

The color is very pleasant. In the photos it looks brownish but it’s actually black (or dark charcoal) with gold specs, which makes it look like bronze. The chairs are very comfortable even without cushions. 

We couldn’t be happier with the purchase.
