Most items that we've ordered from Wayfair are items that will not get much use--they're there to look pretty. Wayfair was the only brand that carried a 60" square patio table, including chairs, that was affordable so I'm taking a chance that this will hold up with high use. EVERYTHING we've ever ordered from Wayfair comes very well packaged and the chairs & table were no exception. Assembly was relatively easy but time-consuming. The curvature in the the chairs' arms made it somewhat difficult to secure the screws. The "rattan" wrapping, seat, and back on the chairs is a poly material that I believe will hold up with sun and weather; the wrapping around the arms was tight and well done with the exception of one of the 8 chairs where it was slightly loose. The chair cushions tie to the chairs and are very comfy--I wouldn't recommend leaving them in rain or snow, though. Overall, this patio set is pretty and affordable--we shall see how well it holds up with the sun and rain we typically get.
