This dark brown patio dining set would’ve been a decent set if all 8 chairs actually fit properly around the table. The table really needed to be larger so that three chairs could comfortably fit along each side, as shown in the listing photos. Unfortunately, the images are a bit misleading because the chairs don’t fit that way in reality. The table ended up scratching the finish on the arm of one of the chairs at the head of the table. I think this would be a great patio dining set if it were sold as a 6-seater instead of an 8-seater. The dark brown color is very nice and overall the set looks good. It arrived in three boxes: one long box containing the table and two medium-to-large, very heavy boxes containing the chairs. Assembly took us about 2½ hours. One other frustrating part was the packaging. Every section of the slats was covered in plastic wrap. Some of it came off easily but a lot of the plastic was caught between the slats and was extremely difficult to remove. We spent way too much time trying to pull all those little pieces out! Overall, it’s a nice-looking set but the table is simply too small to comfortably accommodate all 8 chairs as shown in the listing.
