Our patio is on on the small-ish side, but we wanted a set that could fit 6 guests. This is perfect! I don't understand why so many reviews say it's "too small". These are perfectly normal dining chairs. I'm think everyone must be comparing them to the giant, oversized pool/patio lounging chairs that so common now? Assembly took a long time, but the set is sturdy and looks beautiful. Would buy it again in a heartbeat!
