The set - at first glace - is really nice and sturdy; however, there are two areas that ruin an otherwise beautiful table.  The chairs are exceedingly uncomfortable.  The top rail hits hard on the upper back without the support of the cross rails.   The back rail protrudes in front of the cross rails so you feel it's hard bottom corner when you sit. Lean back and it HURTS... ouch!  I tried slumping my back so as not to touch the top rail...no good.  I will have to fashion some kind of cushion for it.
Also the seat cushions are extremely hard.  Don't know what they did but it is  like sitting on cement.
I hope this helps.  Buyers beware.
