We regret buying this furniture! The pre-drilled holes are misaligned making it impossible to put all the bolts in. Now we have to drill new holes. This is an issue with all the chairs and the bench. We purchased the mushroom stain which is a nice stain but the manufacturer did not apply a clear topcoat like polyurethane, polycrylic, or lacquer. You always apply this coating, especially for out door furniture! It prevents moisture from penetrating the surface, which helps protect against mold, mildew, and damage from oil and salt. The wood will rot without it! So not only do we need to drill new holes we have to apply a coating to this furniture as well. We're scheduled to leave town for several months which is the only reason we did not return this furniture. Very disappointed.
