Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

On Amazon you have many options. I’m very glad I chose to purchase this particular small bistro table and chair set. I’m placing this review after I set up my SECOND SET of the chartreuse/lime green color. The first set arrived in a timely fashion with an intact box, and all pieces in good condition. It practically unfolded itself once I removed the plastic protective sleeve. Paperboard dividers kept the pieces from scratching the paint in transit, so no damage in the box either. NO tools were required to assemble anything. There is a latch to hook on each chair to prevent it from folding while in use. There is a plastic sleeve to cover the hinged table top to keep it from doing likewise. There was even a word of advice to keep it looking as good after a long period of use, and that is to wax the surfaces against weathering. I had not thought of doing that. I attach photos of how I use the two sets on my long skinny deck. Three chairs at one table beneath an umbrella. And one chair at the other table under another umbrella. I enjoy my morning coffee outdoors on the east-facing deck. The metal tabletop is a smooth surface where I set my iPad to do mail. It has a “magnetic attraction” to the table and hates to leave it! :) One factor that assured me I got the right product first time, I saw this was built by a German company. I have great respect for German work, and until I’m shown otherwise, I include that preference in my choices, all other things being equal. The last two photos show the ease with which the chairs and tables can be secured in case of bad weather, like the high winds we are having now before a storm. They are also light enough to be carried to a more secure location if a hurricane approaches.
