I have to agree with the first post here. This set is a piece of junk! I have a christmas ornament made of poly-resin and it is really heavy. So I assumed that this set would be heavy duty although I know its not metal. I think my christmas ornament weighs more than this set does! lol

The only thing good about it, it was easy to put together. It is so flimsy, and bendable, that I'm afraid to sit in it because it will break. And I'm a small person! When you do sit in it, you can wingle and you think the legs on the chair are going to break!

This was a complete waste of money! I am very disappointed in the quality. I purchased this set to go in my flower garden and ended up giving it to my neices which are 4 and 6 years old so they could have a cute table and chair set to play with ooutside. I think their fisher-price picnic table is more durable than this set is.

I purchased this set when it was $59.99 and have assembled it. It is very lightweight, made out of flimsy plastic. My 195-pound husband sat on one of the chairs and it broke. Chair size small and uncomfortable for adult to sit. Disappointed in set and feel I wasted my money.

I recieved this product today. It is a plastic resin material that is flimsy and poor quality. It has plastic nuts with a plastic wrench for assembly. I would not feel comfortable letting my children sit on it for fear that they would tip over. If anything it is good for pure looks and that is all, but not for actually sitiing on! You might break it! If it wasn't such a pain to take apart I would return it!

This is pretty once it is assembled (even though the plastic thingamagig tool broke on the first nut). However, I am afraid to sit on it since is seems wobbly and wimpy. I agree with the other poster about "Resin" - I thought that was going to be the heavy ceramic-y type material - not plastic! I thought I was getting a heck of a deal at $40.00 - but now I think I got ripped of at $40.00. It will sit in the yard under a tree and not really ever get used. Except when I have to fetch the chairs after a 2 mph windgust.

I thought I was getting a deal on something cute for the front porch, but when it arrived I was less than happy. Poly resin is PLASTIC....not even the good plastic like what they make little tykes toys out of to be durable. My 9 year old son helped my husband put it together and broke a piece off just screwing on the bolts that hold it together. I was scared to sit in it thinking it would break. The only reason it got 2 stars is that it does look cute from the street on the porch and it will just serve as a flower stand.

I say the price and the amount that I would save and thought what a good deal. I received it and put it together to realize that you get what you pay for. The chairs are very unstable and wobble when you sit on them. I would always worry that someone is going to fall right through them. The table is very small and is also very unstable. Do yourself a favor and sit on the ground rather than buy this piece of junk.

I put this on my front porch and it looks great there. The chairs are sturdy but some wiggle in the table. I only plan to us this on rainy days for my morning coffee and afternoon cocktails. I didn't think I'd like the color of it but it's great. From a distance it looks black which works well with the black railing I have on my porch. If you're not going to use this hard it's a great set. If it's your only set look for one a little stornger.

I purchased the set thinking it was a bargain. It is very poor quality PLASTIC furniture to say the least. To make a long story short soon after my son (very thin!!!) sat on it the bottom of the leg broke off. My son fell back toward my window thank god he was not hurt but it could have been a lot worse. My son could have been severely hurt as he fell back into the window. In hindsight I am sorry I never read any of the reviews before buying the set but the price seemed catch me. I love a bargain but this is one bargain YOU SHOULD PASS UP!!!!!!!!!!

My mother gave me this set as a housewarming gift to my husband and I for our new apartment. The material was flimsy plastic, and half of the pieces were broken before we ever even opened the box. The other half broke while we tried to improvise a way to put it together. Don't waste your money on such shoddy quality.

Okay, read all the other reviews and know that the quality is not first rate. If you are looking for a bistro set that you can use in the intended way, this is probably not for you. However, think outside the box for a moment. I bought this set today because at $29.99, no tax, no shipping (which is $30 by itself) plus a fairly nice humming bird feeder, for me this is a screaming deal. Why?

I have a covered porch and intend to use the set as plant stands. They should be very decorative. If you have priced plant stands, you know that the cost of the table and chairs used for this purpose is very competitive. I also have the matching bird bath, which was similarly panned several months ago, but it has worked fine for me on my porch. Based on the assembly of the bird bath and its similar lower quality, I would suggest you use caution in assembling the table and chairs to avoid breakage. Once assembled and properly adjusted, you shouldn't have to worry about either the amount of weight or wobbling if you are going to use the table and chairs as plant stands.

I will revisit this review once I get the table and chairs assembled to let you know if there were problems.

Okay, here's my postscript. It's now September, and I'm happy with the purchase. The table and chairs support my plants just fine, and I'm pleased with the overall effect. However, don't expect to place extremely heavy plants on the table in particular; it won't support that kind of weight. It is possible to adjust the chairs to be fairly stable, but not the table. Certainly, don't pay the current price of around $70 either.
