We needed garden seating for at least 8 people so decided to buy 2 of these 4 seaters sets. We originally considered something rattan or rattan style plastic but for the price & style, I don't think we could have found a better deal than 2 of these simple, elegant wooden sets. The quality is very good too. We'll keep them covered over winter & retreat them when the weather gets better, if necessary, each Spring. The item did need some assembling but it was all very easy to put together. Delivery was very quick too - not quite the 2 days delivery advertised but the extra days wait was no bother.  Special thanks go to my dog modelling the product in the photo attached!
