I took a chance and ordered this set without any review. I am so glad that i did. The chairs and sofa are very sturdy and comfortable. They are on the small side though.
Delivery was fast, ordered on Sunday and received on wed. The shipment consists three large boxes. It took me about 2 hours to put together. i've never assembled any furniture before so i say its pretty easy to assemble Just lay all the pieces on the floor and use common sense. There are three different sizes of metal screws so make sure you use the right one.
The pictures of the black set on amazon show no back cushion and the seat cushion color is grey. The actual set I received has back cushions and the color of the cushions is white.i actually liked white better than grey.
If you are looking for something for a small patio or deck space, i highly recommend this set! good quality and much sturdy compared to those in $200 range.
This came and was exactly what I expected and more. I didn't think it was going to be as solid as it actually is. Assembly could be hard for someone who is not handy, but putting it together with the help of a few clamps helped out a ton. I'm 6' 220 lbs and can sit in any of the seats comfortably.
***update... these are falling apart. We actually never use them and they are breaking apart on their own. Very disappointed. Seriously bad quality. Seemed to be great at first. 5 star to 1.
I shopped for months and almost got a few cheaper sets. I chose this one based on style, color, quality, ease of assembly (comparatively) and of course the price.
Style - Very good modern quality design. Looks pricey. Glass is blacked out. All hardware is black.
Color - Deep black (exactly what i wanted).
Quality - Beyond expectations.
Ease of assembly - Very simple and easy. There's only 2 different size screws for hardware. No nuts to deal with.
*I would suggest an auto screwdriver or drill w/ hex bit but you can hand crank everything with the supplied hex wrench (yes, it hurts after a while). Just be sure to go back and tighten everything up later. Instructions mention you may need to re-tighten anyway.
Other things to note: The pillows are thin and there is no back pillow but the material is stretchy and flexes which gives a comfortable feel. I like that the 4 pillows are the same size as you can easily store them until you're ready to use the furniture or even just use it without.
The backrest portion of the furniture is a nice height and decently vertical and supportive. I'm 6'1" with a bad back. This set fits me perfect.
Nice to get a product that is exactly as described / reviewed at an incredibly reasonable price.
Thank you Baner Garden.
After a year all these pieces are falling apart. Plastic is everywhere in my yard. These do not stand "years of comfort" they barely withstood a year in the California sun. I want a replacement set asap. I guess you get what you pay for even though the description says it'll withstand years of elements. No good. Assembly was more than enough and now these are falling apart. I hope these get replaced.
UPDATE: THEY REPLACED IT ALL AND CAME AND GOT THEM. IT WAS AWESOME. THE NEW ONES ARE STILL IN GREAT CONDITION! THANK YOU! GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!
This set looked like such a good deal I bought it immediately! Then, I looked at the reviews and was a little worried about assembly and quality.
As soon as I finished assembling it i was in love with it. It's not the highest quality but it looks it. I spent $700 on our last metal patio set and this is hands down nicer! Now my husband actually sits outside with me in the mornings when I have my coffee.
My main caution is that the arm chairs have a difficult time fitting together. The holes don't match up exactly and it takes some muscle to fit them together enough to get the screws in. But, this was only the case with the chairs not the love seat or the table.
Two other things of note are that you do not get extra screws. The only thing they give you spares of are the washers. And finally, I saw a review where someone said they were sent two of the same side panels and couldn't assemble their chairs which had me worried about mine. When I went to put it together I noticed that left and right sides were assigned part numbers 2 and 4. A quick review of the parts I was sent revealed I only had part 2 and not part 4s. Don't panic! My parts were all labeled incorrectly for the sides but the pieces were all there! Don't just go off of what the number says try the parts out for your self and hopefully it will turn out the way mine did.
I would absolutely order this again and recommend it to anyone looking for an upgrade to their patio set.
Love this set! It is compact, but still fit my 10x10 patio comfortably. I was pleased that the chairs did not feel too narrow and they have a substantial arm rest. This set is really comfortable to sit in but does come with a thin cushion. I plan on adding a couple pillows. The assembly wasn't terrible and took my husband about an hour and a half. This was a great value for the price and I would definitely buy it again.
Just received this today and put it together. We absolutely love it! It came with the gray cushions, which we really like. No pillows, but we want to buy a set of our own anyway. Putting it together was a little frustrating, but overall easy... only requires an allen wrench which is included.
