Sturdy.  Seats of chairs are roomy but could benefit from pillows.  Found the set bigger overall than worked for my balcony areas.  I'm short, 5 even to be exact.  So while I wanted the table and chair high, the set ends up being too high/uncomfortable for my legs. Great option for the longer legged families.  There is a foot rest on the chair and the table it just doesn't fit how like to sit.
