We experienced intense rainfall and wind during the testing period, and the table held up exceptionally well.
We found they dried quickly, even after intense rain.
Plus, it has a hole (and cover) for apatio umbrella.
One issue we found was that after the rain, some water and debris got trapped under the glass.
This set came in four boxes and took about an hour and a half to assemble.
We found this process extremely easy and intuitive.
It comfortably seats up to four people, but you’ll have to purchase the chairs separately.
However, we recommend using them in the shade, since the material is prone to overheating.
The assembly took less than 10 minutes.
Everything was packaged extremely well, and Crate & Barrel provided a very accurate delivery date.
We recommend having a friend handy because the table’s metal pieces can get heavy.
Polywood also offerschair cushions, anumbrella, and a basethat are compatible with this set.

Even after weeks of wind and rain, this dining set still looks phenomenal.
As with all wooden furniture, expect the stain to fade slightly over time.
Our only gripe with this set is that you could’t customize the cushion color.
Because of that, we recommend storing them indoors or using an outdoor furniture cover.
For smaller spaces, we recommend our best budget pick, theGrand Patio Bistro Set.
Measure your outdoor patio or backyard carefully.
We recommend considering how much room guests may need to sit comfortably and move around the furniture.
What’s Your Design Preference?
It’s equally stylish and durable.
All of the sets listed in this roundup can be wiped clean with a cloth and warm water.
We recommend consulting each manufacturers specific care guides as well.
To remove tough stains and mold, perhaps invest in a pressure washer.
