The furniture is very sturdy. I love it for that aspect. I've ordered from wayfair before and haven't had am issue. The delivery company was stopped to leave the furniture in any dry area. I was there when they delivered it. They left it in the front yard when it was just starting to drizzle. They tried to tell me that's a dry area when I read over the contract where it said a hallway, garage, or porch where they deem it safe. I live in Brooklyn N.Y. if I wasn't home I don't know how safe they thought it would be to leave it standing up in my yard. Very unprofessional company that they use as a service company. They handed me the paperwork without me filling the information out for the delivery. Pathetic. Wayfair only returned a $100 credit to get someone to assist me with the furniture into a secure area.
