For our current needs, this is a great set. Inexpensive, decent looking, comfortable, if it gets broken or stolen, no one gets upset. You can also find replacement chairs and tables here and on their sister sites for great prices. I have to buy outdoor furnishings based on the premise that they might in fact get stolen so I don't like to drop a lot of cash on them. This set shipped quickly, no dents or breakages. I found some inexpensive cushions from a local Lots store for three dollars a piece that fit perfectly. I plan on buying a cover for this but keep forgetting. It did survive very well during our nasty deep freeze of a winter last year here on Long Island. Not that I expected anything less but you never know. Nice set, I'd recommend it to anyone considering it.
