Love this set! We are very slow to make decisions on most purchases and are probably way pickier than many people, but when coming across this set, it was hardly a long decision process. Reading the reviews, looking at the photos and making sure the dimensions lined up with our space is all it took because this truly was a great deal on the surface. Then upon receiving the set, we were equally pleased. In person, this outdoor dining set looks the same as in the advertised photo and we have been enjoying it for about a year now (maybe longer). We live in an area that gets a lot of rain and is quite humid, year round; our dining set is covered by a patio roof, but is otherwise exposed to the elements 24/7. No rust, no mold yet! If you need back support when sitting, consider that this comes with benches. We use it as a picnic table in our backyard when grilling and eating on our patio. Highly recommend to anyone in the market!
