Very vintage. And when I say vintage, I mean the classy vintage, not mustard and brown plaid vintage from your great grandma's basement. I was very surprised at how well the chairs, table and even the umbrella was made. I am a huge skeptic about furniture shopping online but this set had me at "Cast Aluminum". I know it will be strong, durable and with the hardened powder coated finish, it will last me a very long time!
