Living along the Florida coast, we have to be careful what we purchase because of heat, sun and rust. This outdoor dining set seemed like a perfect option for us because it folds up with the chairs underneath. Our covered porch is long, but only 8 feet wide and is on the west side of the house that will only get late afternoon summer sun. We had an old grill cover that covers it perfectly due to the pollen season that has already begun in February.
It seems well constructed, is sturdy and we have used it numerous times in the month that we have had it. Time will tell.
We liked it so well, we purchased side tables several weeks later and have stripped our five rocking chairs, re-staining them to match the dining set and side tables. We are ready for spring and summer.
