Pleasantly surprised at the high quality of this dining set for the price.  Have looked at much higher priced ones that don't come close to the quality of this set.  Required minimal, simple assembly which was achieved in less than an hour at a leisurely pace by just one person (although instructions request 2 people).  Love the opening for an umbrella.  Very sturdy and good weight.  No fear of being blown about in the wind.  No rough edges and pieces fit together without difficulty.  Chairs extremely comfortable, no need for a cushion.  Would highly recommend to anyone, even to someone willing to spend more.  This was a great deal.  Couldn't be more pleased!
