I guess you get what you pay for.  My previous outdoor set was much more solidly built and made of thicker pieces of wood.  I’m not sure this one is going to hold up outside in Florida.  It also came to me with a number of defects in the surface of the table and of one chair leg.  Not enough that I was going to try to send things back, but enough to not give the set 5 stars.  That said, it looks very nice overall and it is very comfortable.
