This patio set is much smaller than it appears. It would be perfect for kids, but it's simply too small for adults. The back of the sofa and chair come up to my mid-thigh when standing next to it and I'm only 5'6. Beyond the size, it seems to be sturdy enough and looks nice. Previous reviews weren't kidding when they mention the number of bolts (40). It took me 2 1/2 hours to assemble.
