I wasn't planning to buy patio furniture quite yet. I had just finished a big patio project that included installing a retaining wall & pavers, and was done for this year--physically & financially. Then saw this beautiful set on sale. The price was right, delivery was early & delivery service brought it to the back, unpacked it & made sure everything was OK. It's way more than OK...beautiful, sturdy & just what I didn't even know I was looking for!
