This set is perfect for entertaining. The table is large and very sturdy. The chairs are comfortable with or without the cushions. Family and guests alike vie for the swivel chairs. I am so glad I chose the eight seat table and chairs. It is well worth the money. Setup was easy, but no tools are provided. One person unpacked, assembled and broke down  the sturdy cardboard boxes in about two hours time. The delivery was on time. 
I recommend this outdoor dining set.
