The wicker set has proved to be of excellent quality. I did have to hire someone to put most pieces together as I could not do it on my own, but once it was completed, I have enjoyed using it. The table is large enough for several people to be seated around comfortably. The sofa is extremely comfortable and easy to maintain. The cushions are water resistant and hold up well after it rains. Water just beads up and then dries. The set is several months old and still looks like new and I use it every day.
