We recently purchased this bistro set for the balcony at the shore. We needed something relatively compact, but also comfortable. This set fit the bill perfectly.
Pros:
1) Easy to assemble / it took me a little over an hour, but I was watching TV at the same time. My point: the instructions are good and its a simple process. With a 2nd person and an extra Allen wrench, you could be done in 30 mins or less.
2) Good size / the chairs will be a good size for most people. Im around 510 and you can see from the picture that my legs/knees are at a good angle.
3) Comfortable / the seat cushions are very comfortable to sit on. I spent several hours in total sitting this weekend and have no discomfort (believe me: my back would let me know).
4) Looks great / As you can see from the picture, it looks great. Its a really nice addition!
Cons:
1) Small complaint / the color is more olive/gray than the light gray I was expecting. With that said, my wife is fine with it, so thats all matters.
2) The rattan (or whatever it is) feels thin. I feel like if I poke hard enough, itll break. Im not talking about the sturdiness of the furniture / just the material itself.
3) The chairs are a little off / I did everything right, but the legs arent quite even. Not a BIG deal / they arent off by much / but a minor issue.
Overall, this is a great set / especially for the price. We are considering buying another set (the balcony is big enough) because we like this one so much.
