This set is just slightly better than "you get what you pay for."  It was very inexpensive, but it's poorly constructed and finished.  Assembly is difficult because the pieces have to be vigorously compressed in order for them to be bolted together.  I'm pretty handy but I couldn't put it together by myself because I wasn't strong enough.  The painted finish is poor.  Very flat and doesn't resist staining.  Went through one rain storm and when I went out to clean it the next day the table was irretrievably water marked.  I'll end up repainting the table.  The seat cushions are a nice addition but they are such poor quality that I'm replacing them.  All that being said, the set is the size and shape I needed for a particular space that doesn't get much us.  It meets my needs.
