Out of all the furniture I’ve ordered and assembled in the last two months, this is the only set that I managed to injure myself with, but that’s because it was the last thing I assembled and I was feeling bold and disregarded directions. So don’t do that. This is a nice, sturdy set of patio furniture. Perfect height for me to sit outside and draw, but the seats definitely need cushions. Wider hips beware, the arms of these chairs will be uncomfortable.
