I’ve only had it set up for a few days, but it seems solid and sturdy and quick to assemble; it’s really heavy for one person. The color of the wood is like an espresso brown; almost black, but just not quite. Chairs are comfortable but I can tell they’re not high quality padding so I don’t expect them to last long; this wasn’t expensive furniture so I didn’t have high expectations. The linen fabric is nicely sewn with piping on the edges, but had a few wrinkles I’m hoping will fall out or I will try to steam them out. The chairs took forever to assemble even with an electric screwdriver so be prepared for about 30/45 minutes per chair. There are 15 screws per chair and the rungs only go one way so if you put them in backwards the screw won’t go in all the way. I attached a picture of the wrong way; it’s very subtle.
