Originally loved this set, but one short brief snow storm and the tables and chairs bleached and started to peel apart. The table and chairs are very attractive, good looking set. Chairs are sturdy and comfortable. IMPRESSIVE and highly use-friendly packaging and set up. I haven't experienced such ease in setting up furniture before as a result of the simple, stand-alone packing of hardware and the instruction materials. Unfortunately, they can't handle even the slightest wet weather.
