Everything missed the mark. The backs of the chairs barely hit the top of the dining room table. The plastic is flimsy and way too shiny. The metal legs are too thin. And though they say you can use these outdoors, it could be done only with an eye to caution. A breeze could topple them and wind could send them flying. These chairs are cheap and look cheap. Don't be fooled by the cute style. I don't know how they get such high reviews. Btw - easy to put together. I would return if the box had not been destryed.
