Metal frames make table and chair light weight. I agree with other review, the cushion little thin yet it is just right and balance the design! I chose white and love it. As far the assembly concern, there isn’t any problem except the chair legs structure little weak since it has only 1 bar to bolt the back legs together but none for the font, so need little eyes adjustment to have all legs arrange to where they should be being said that, the chai should not be rock too much. Overall, it is a good price for nice set of table!
