When FINALLY put together the metal/framed chairs and table seem sturdy enough, but the weaving/material feels like plastic (which it IS!) // probably OK weather/wise, but if the plastic is cut or broken it probably will be too/easy to tear or unravel more, unlike real wicker!
(I had my reservations before ordering but felt Sorta OK about it, that it would hold // but now, not so/sure!)
//My biggest complaint is that most screws would not screw/in into the metal/sockets without a lot of difficulty, especially when trying to join both parts, even loosely, until each chair was fully assembled, awaiting actual tightening, as noted in the instructions!
(BTW, the instructions were a series of drawings, showing each part to meet that part! //But nowhere was it noted, for example, that This particular side/arm/part was intended for That side of the seat/part, etc. // and THAT is important to actually join the parts together correctly!)
//Anyway, I ended/up taking them out and individually screwing/in EACH screw into the individual parts one/by/one, just trying to widen the sockets so a proper assembling would be easier! //And often even then, that was still very hard to do!
(The little screwdriver/bar is hard to hold or to use. //I ended/up using a regular socket/screwdriver! //But even then the individual screws had to be forced into their sockets // during testing as well as when I felt good enough that joining the parts would be easier.)
I finally got everything put together, nice and solid and safe!
//BUT ALL/IN/ALL IT STILL TOOK ME ABOUT THREE HOURS TO ASSEMBLE BY MYSELF!
//NOT the hour/plus often/said in other comments! //With the help of someone else it MIGHT have been able to have been done a bit faster, but.
NOT Easy to Put Together
