This set looks a whole lot better in person than in the picture. Very classy looking, almost too nice to have outdoors. I would use a furniture cover for it if you do keep it outside, to prevent the glass top from getting too damaged. But it is a great piece. LIke the others in the outdoor line, it IS fiddly to put together and you really do need a screw gun to get it tight enough. But the seats are comfortable and it looks great outdoors.
