It is really hard to find an outdoor dining set at this price, so the 5 star rating is for the quality of this set for the price. I really love it. It was fairly easy to assemble. I had the most trouble with the swivel chairs. There were extra pieces of the hardware, which was nice. All of the chairs are comfortable. I like that the table is “smooth”—it makes it much easier to wipe clean. Hopefully, this set will look as good by the end of the summer. I think we will be using it a lot. Very happy with this purchase!
