Great set except for the table. I just found that I can’t upload pictures I have taken of this item. The link isn’t here on the page above. I mention below that I have pictures, I’ll try to add those pictures when it becomes possible to do so.It took me a while to research this product before I wrote a review.I’ve actually never owned lawn furniture this nice before. I had some cheap stuff that I bought “somewhere” for $100. I have used many other peoples lawn furniture, and even eaten at some restaurants which used lawn furniture outside. I’ve borrowed other people’s lawn furniture when i was having a party. To me, lawn furniture is a big investment even if its $500.This Strathwood set has some really great aspects, and one poor one: the table. But I’m going to start off by talking about everything else but the table.Comfort: the chairs are very comfortable. I like them, and I use them a lot now. The pillows I don’t like so much. They seem small and very very puffy. Sure, they should flatten out over time. But the pillows are actually too small for my liking. If you put the pillows up against the arm of the chair they try to squeeze underneath the arm of the chair. This is because they are so puffy and small. They seem smaller than the ones in the picture on the website. But overall the chairs are very comfortable and very nice.Style: I don’t like the grey color that much. The pillows add a splash of color, and the grey hides the dirt well. But after several weeks the grey just looks bland. Maybe a taupe color would have been better.Durability: I abused the set a little. I left the cushions out in the rain on purpose. They drained out the water very nicely and dried quickly. That was good.Speaking of durability, you aren’t supposed to leave the cushions out in severe weather. I bought a patio box to keep them in: That box is actually a bit too small, something bigger would have been better. But it was within my budget and its a great box, so we cram the cushions in anyway (they fit in the linked suncast box if you cram them in).Quality: The set is very lightweight and sturdy, and easy to move. But sometimes the plastic bits that are on the ends of the legs want to come out. But eventually they they will go between the boards on my deck into “the black abyss” below.Material: Water beads up on the material very easily. I’m uploading a photo of how easy it was to spray them with a light water mist to remove the pollen thats been coating everything lately.Packaging: the item arrived undamaged. It came in one huge box, which was delivered in a panel truck (NOT UPS!). The box is too big to fit through most doorways. It barely fit through the gate that leads to my backyard.I’ve already told you that the table is my biggest complaint. So its time for me to come clean about that. There are notable product flaws on the table, and, worse, it looks like someone ineptly tried to cover them up. First, on 3 of 4 legs the leveling screw was screwed in so tight it bent the metal above it. I’m talking about the screw that you can move in and out to keep the table from being wobbly (floors can be uneven). Mine were screwed in so tight that they dented the metal on the other side of the leg. Second, on the top of the table there were some dents. These were from the 8 screws that hold the legs on. Once again, someone had screwed them in so tightly that they damaged the metal on the other side (this would be the top of the table in plain sight). To fix these blemishes, someone just took a can of spray paint and spritzed a round shiny spot of spray paint that is really obvious. So its not that the problem went unnoticed. Then the table was disassembled and sent to me pre-dented. I’m very disappointed about the botched touch up paint, but there would be dents either way.I also don’t like the table design, there is a lot of pollen right now and the pollen gets in the track around the glass, so you have to remove the glass to clean this area. To me, this is a safety issue even if the glass is tempered (it is). If you want your table to look clean you will have to regularly remove the glass. I don’t have this problem with my other glass outdoor table.Overall, this is a really nice set. We are spending more time outside because of it, which is great. We’re using it for both lunch and dinner because the weather is so beautiful right now. We had guests over Easter weekend who complimented the set and asked where they could buy it. They didn’t notice the problems with the table, but they also weren’t really looking.I really like the set. If it weren’t for the quality problems on the table I would have given it 4 or 5 stars…
