The quality of this set was apparent the minute I saw how well it was packaged.  It is a durable, bright, wonderful  addition to our backyard patio. My husband thought the table was a little difficult to put together, but I think it is so well-made that's why it took him a little time!   The table legs are supported  in the middle which does not impede sitting at the table, I love the set. very solid! I may buy another color to bring inside our kitchen!
