Despite what other reviews had mentioned about this set being cheap and unreliable, I actually think it is amazing for the price! We were looking for a simple, compact dining set for our small deck, and we got just that with this bistro set! It's great that the chairs are fold and stack - they are easily maneuverable, but are also not so light that there is any concern they may blow away. The table is tempered glass, and is not too small - we can easily have 2 people dine with drinks and plates, and can squeeze 4 dining sets on the table if needed. I think this set is great - simple and compact but sturdy enough to be a reliable set to have for awhile! Oh, and umbrella is simple too. I wouldn't say it can withstand a storm, but great for coverage from the sun when you need some cool.
