The dining set arrived well packaged and two people put it together in about one hour. I wanted a dining table and chairs made of metal to withstand the Texas heat and to last over time. I looked at wicker and resin sets but with dogs that love to chew on things I felt this set was the best choice. Because I did not care for the color of the cushions, I have left them off the chairs and they are still extremely comfortable.  The only note is the table is little bit higher than I expected and a chair cushion would probably make up the difference.  It is exactly a pictured on line and the best part is it is very comfortable.  A hit at my house!
