This outdoor dining set looks great. I was going to wait to set it up until next year, but couldn’t wait! Color is very true to the pictures. Even though it is billed as “dark brown” it has more of a medium brown color as the picture reflects. Had some friends over to put it together and, while it definitely took some time, the set was easy to put together for its size and such. Can’t speak to its longevity yet, but it looks great on the deck and I definitely spend more time outside because of it! I did need one more hardware pack for one of the chairs and customer service responded and sent the new hardware ASAP.
