For the price, this is a great set. I've had it for a year now, and everything is holding up well. I'll need to tighten the bolts every so often (once a year), and eventually the wood will degrade (in a few more years, I'd expect), but this is all to be expected at this price point. The cushions have faded quicker than I expected, but I don't mind. And yes, the furniture is small, which is exactly what we were looking for.
