I read every review of many patio dining sets. This one ranked the highest for the price. I was on the email notification list for several weeks before it was available again. I ordered my set immediately and once again, this set sold out quickly. I have the white and light gray which is the most popular set compared to the black/brown set. When my set arrived it was packaged very well. The only assembly required was to screw on the table legs. I have the real Pollywood set at our second home which is 3 times the cost, but this Maine set is an excellent substitute. It is good quality, comfortable seating, and looks fantastic.
