This set is sturdy and the chairs swivel easily so no scratches on the patio floor. Chairs are comfortable without buying more pillows. I use placemats because of the slats in the table top. 
The directions to put set together are a joke. One of the chairs had been put together crooked but my husband has tools and took apart and fixed. 
The set sits outside and is under an overhang so is partly protected from sun and rain. and
