I guess it's okay for the price.
Let me start by saying the reason I gave this product 3 starts is because I spent an additioanl $50 in oil rubbed bronze rustoleum paint so that I could make these work and didn't have to return them. There's nothing like spending close to $1000 on some patio furniture, then having to do so work. My husband was not pleased. I kept telling him a table chairs, the settee, coffee table and two chairs, we were talking $3500 for a high quality wrought iron set, so I didn't mind spending the $50 in paint. Anyway, the settee from same manufacturer is texture coated dark grey and of slightly higher quality. The chairs and patio table set is painted black and scratched up when it arrived. Had a few jagged edged that required a light sand so my kids don't need a tetnus shot. We assembled them and decided that since they didn't match (and the one set was scratched up) that we should paint them. You must rustoleum this set or it will rust. If you like the black scratched look, then use clear rustoleum. I found an oil rubbed bronze that me and my hubby like and we painted all of our furnture to match and now with cushions, it looks great. If we took it right out of the box, then it would not look so good. If you are willing to spend a few hours and $50 on this set, then you can make it look nice and last a long time. The metal is sturdy, but will require a new can of rustoleum every few years to prevent rusting, unless in a sun room, but if exposed, I'd give it a coat. Would have had to pay a couple thousand more to get something just slightly better after the rustoleum.
