I bought this set to replace a worn out set that looked identical to this set.  The new table and the old table really are identical, suggesting they may have been made by the same company.  But the new chairs and lounge are not as well made.  My old set really did look a lot like real wicker, but this new set screams "I'm plastic and I was made in China".  Which is true, but I wish it wasn't so obvious.  My old set cost $400 less, but that was several years ago, so the prices are comparable; the quality is not.  I'm keeping the set. It isn't awful and will serve its purpose of seating on my little patio, but I'm really disappointed it isn't better quality.
