I have a small deck and wanted something comfortable, classy looking, and give me room to move around. While I have yet to put it on the deck (due to a lovely snow storm going on right now), I tested it out in the apartment and love it! Like the other reviews, this set is sturdy and very nice looking! The chairs are comfortable to sit on but if you like cushion, you might find it hard to find cushions for the chairs, as they run on the smaller side.
