Summary: Fantastic quality for a great price!
Comment: I discovered this set on Amazon, although I purchased it elsewhere because I found it offered for more than $50 cheaper, and with free shipping. (Sorry, Amazon; too good to pass up.)
Nonetheless, I am thrilled with the quality of this set; equivalent sets are selling for hundreds more (and most of them aren't made of sustainably harvested materials). Every piece is exceptionally well crafted, the carpentry very high quality. Just the way the chairs unfold (silently and easily) is impressive. This set will last for a long time, even if I fold and unfold the pieces frequently. Attention to detail is such that a wood circle is included to fill the center umbrella hole if you don't want to use an umbrella.
Finally, its design makes it compact but not unusably small, which I have seen all too frequently with wood patio sets in this price range. Spacious for a meal for two or three people; comfortable for four.
I took off a star only because it's billed as "eco-friendly" -- which perhaps it is if you live in Singapore, where the wood is harvested, rather than halfway around the world via fossil fuel. If this is really important to you, you'll need to keep looking; I chose to make a compromise on green-ness in order to get the best of what I could afford to spend.
Speaking of green, the included cover is a loud kelly green; it's a bit jarring -- nice to have a free cover, but I would prefer a more natural shade.
These items were extremely well packed and shipped with care -- the chairs arrived fully assembled, and the table requires you to put in two bolts with the included Allen wrench. Super-easy. I've been burned before by ordering larger items over the Internet that arrive in a different shape at my doorstep thanks to the shipping company; far from the case here.
Overall, I'm extremely pleased with my purchase and looking forward to a lovely springtime meal outside this weekend!
