Have had this set for almost four years now and it’s held up really well. (We do keep it on a covered porch out of the elements.) My only complaint is that, while it seats 8, it is very tight on the sides that seat 3. Arm rests have to be touching to get all 3 chairs in, which makes it difficult for the middle person to get in and out. It only really works if the people on the ends sit with their chairs back and angled out. Wish it was a tad longer of a table to avoid this.
