We replaced our heavy, 40 inch square w/glass top table with this set! We like it... Looks great on our covered patio & the woven resin wicker matches our comfy resin wicker chairs & glass top end table! The table top isn't as even as glass...so I just put my coffee cup on a magazine to steady it! We gave our old set (still in good condition) to our son for his patio. We haven't had a chance to use the metal ice bucket insert under the table top yet, but should come in handy for parties. & gatherings! This set seems well made & sturdy!! The chairs are heavy enough...but not too heavy! We hope to enjoy this bistro set for years to come!! ;oD
