I had been shopping for a 3 piece patio set that was bar high for a while, but having a hard time finding one at the price point I was willing to spend. After reading all of the reviews for this set (good and bad), I decided to go for it. And boy, am I glad I did. This set is way more substantial than I could have hoped for. The quality is spot on. It came well packaged and we experienced no damage or missing parts at all. Some reviews mention that there were no instructions. For us, both the table and chairs came with instructions...out of fairness not overly descriptive ones, but not impossible to understand. I mean...it's a chair with legs. It's not too hard to figure out which parts go where. I think it is super IMPORTANT to understand and remember that when putting ANYTHING together with screws that you match up all the screws with the holes and tighten them all at once. You can't put in one screw, tighten it as much as you can and expect the other screws and holes to match up. A lot of these reviews said the holes don't match up. I guarantee some of those issues were user error. So don't be afraid to give this set a chance based on those comments. The set is heavy and is not cheaply made where you are worried it's going to blow over in the wind. The smoked glass top is a nice addition and gives it a classy look. Chairs are surprisingly comfortable and I love that they swivel. The legs on the chairs have adjusters on the bottom for stabilizing. The table however does not. The one and only issue with this set is that our table is not balanced. I will likely have to put something under one of the legs to keep it from wobbling. All things considered. NOT a big deal to us given the price and quality of this set. Super satisfied with this purchase.
