Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Purchased February 27, 2016, $1,440.97, bought the Duck Cover as well. Covered in December 2016.. unwrapped March 2017. We are between One and Two Stars- sturdy, comfortable, large table, stackable chairs BUT...looks like it was left to sit on the beach for 20 years!!! After virtually one season of use, the set is cracking and discoloring, the table as well as the chairs. It is nowhere near the color we saw in the pictures and even when it was new. We live in North Carolina, where the winters are moderate. I don't understand why it's not holding up better. I am thinking we'll have to paint it. Terrible waste of money if we do. We have applied the preservative , to no avail. Still discolored, still faded. AND we paid a $ 300.00 ++ premium. The pictures show the wear. Very disappointed to have paid for more than we got and received far less than we paid for. WE could have bought a $300.00 set if we wanted it to look like this after ONE Season.
