I was looking for a small yet comfortable dining piece to put by my pool. This set took about an hour and a half to put together with 2 people. It would have went faster if I had payed better attention to the directions. The assembly is tedious but once its together its so sturdy and comfortable! I ordered the Black and Tan and I love the colors! Once the concrete is power washed it will look a lot better out there. The table includes a spot for an umbrella which was also a great addition. The cushions have already Been out in the rain and have proved to be water proof. The only complaint I have is that when I went to tear the tag off the cushion the fabric split so I had to sew it up. I should have just left the tag on or cut it off. Otherwise for the price, you cant find a set like this anywhere else! Cant wait to use it all summer long .
