To be honest, this outdoor bar table and stool set is not cheap. But you get what you paid for. The quality of the material is top notch; the aluminum is thick and sturdy. The installation was easy to follow. It took me about an hour to put it together; there was quite a lot of wrench turning work involved, I should have used an electric drill with hex head instead. After putting everything together, this set really shines. It looks like it belongs to a high-end resort.We love the look of this set. It fits to our modern home perfectly. I wish I had ordered the stools without side arm rests as it make it harder to get in and particularly to tuck your chair up closer to the table.This is pretty much exactly as it looks in the pictures. However, it came with 4 captains chairs (with arms) not 2, but perhaps I misunderstood that. The arms do fit under the table top. The packaging was perfect and assembly was minimal and straightforward. However, there are several scratches which is really disappointing....otherwise I would have given it 5 stars.easy to assembleHeavy enough so wind doesn’t take it awaySturdy - good looking Firm seating not plush but it’s not a plush pieceVery sturdy and exactly as described perfect for our deck as we have expansive Mountain View’s and wanted a piece that also blended in with our current decking and just added pops of color with cushions though bar stools are comfortable without cushions if you preferVery well madeSome scratches :(
