Assembly
The box arrived on time. It is evident that the set was packed carefully to ensure that nothing gets damaged during shipping. Every piece and bolt is inside. My dad assembled this outdoor lounge set for me. It took him nearly an hour but he did take a few breaks in between. He said that the setup was a bit difficult. He added that as long as you stick to the directions, anyone would manage. Everything aligned properly. He didn’t have to force anything, which is great. After the setup, I instantly saw how beautiful the patio set is. I knew I got value for my money and I’m over the moon!
Comfort and Style
For me, the chairs are comfortable. They don’t come with back cushions, which some of you may not like. However, I would have to say that the chairs are still comfortable to sit on even without them. Anyway, you can buy the cushions separately. Just make sure to take the chair’s measurements first before you do. The seat cushions are not as thick as I would have liked but they work fine. They are soft and allow you to sit longer. The chairs’ backs are tilted backward. You won’t have to sit too upright so you won’t hurt your back.
The chairs sit quite low to the ground, which makes them great for lounging. I haven’t had anyone who’s complained about the height. Guests feel relaxed when seated.
The slats make for an attractive design. It’s a design I rarely see in patio sets. It doesn’t look fancy but it does catch the eye when you see it. I do wish that the cushions come in another color. Stain and dirt are very visible on the white cushions, forcing me to wash them often. The covers are removable for easy washing. They can be zipped off, so washing is convenient.
Stability
Acacia is known as a weather-resistant material. This patio set can be left outdoors but I suggest putting it under a shade. I chose to get a wooden set rather than a wicker one with durability as the main consideration. I also think wicker sets look better in pool areas.
I’ve had this outdoor set for 5 months now. Only time could tell if it’s as durable as I think it to be. Our set gets a lot of use from my husband and I. We drink coffee in the morning and have a relaxing chat about how our day went in the evening. We also entertain guests a lot. I’ve received a couple of compliments for the set and I’m happy.
The seats and table don’t wobble. It can get annoying when your seat shakes while lounging, so it’s a good thing it doesn’t.
In My Opinion
This beautiful outdoor set isn’t the least expensive set available. I’ve found cheaper ones but went with this one because of the unique style and sturdy material. I highly recommend this elegant chat set without reservations. If you’re considering to get this, go ahead and order it already!
