I love my bistro set. It has been sitting outside on a covered balcony in Florida and still looks new. I did go over it with teak oil when I first got it as suggested by the manufacturer.

It's not hard but rather annoying. If left without cleaning a couple of days (about 2-3) it starts to look dirty (lime spots). More than that and it looks pretty dirty. The set is actually very very nice and modern looking and I've got several compliments on it (off course I need to super clean it when guests are over).

Have had no problems with my set what so ever. I have been very pleased with the set.

I had it for a couple of years and it appears to be holding up OK (no obvious links, failure of seals or cap, brittleness of materials). I only drag it with me when I need the volume so it's getting used 3-4 times a year. It's currently on loan to a trusted buddy. I am fairly careful with it because it's made of materials that could puncture it so I don't pack it next to a spork or put it on the outside of my pack in a spot where a branch could poke it.

I have had my set for over 2 years, and still love it. I accidentally scratched the surface with an object when I first purchased it. That was my fault. My set is solid wood and other than what I did accidentally, it is still in perfect condition. The scratches were disguised fine with Old English. I have noticed no water marks from sweating glasses, and people have set them on the wood. I would buy this set again! Everyone loves it, from dining to playing games! We love scrabble and the center lazy susan is great for games. This set is very sturdy, and have had guests who are very heavy, and the chairs are still stable and have never broken. Our set gets heavy use, and have not had to take any extraordinary care. I am not understanding the negative reviews at all. Sometimes, furniture cracks or breaks because the assembler didn't follow instructions and inserted the wrong screws in the wrong holes. Also, sometimes men will try to tighten too much, putting too much torque on the item. Conversely, sometimes women will not tighten quite enough, leaving too much "give" when under the weight of a heavy person. When I use the included tools, use some common sense, I rarely have problems with items which need home assembly.

I would say yes to both questions, I love the set, it feels and plays like a very quality set.

Mine has been going for about 4-5 months on the same set. Though it is not used every day.

This set is not exactly the same I purchased a few years ago. So I don't know.

I don't know about this set. We about it as a gift for a friend. However, at the other set from this company, it has been working well for over a year with reasonable amount of use.

Our mom has had the retro set for almost a year now. She is a fairly heavy person and the seats seem to be durable so far. No problems, and the set is very sharp looking.

Not at all so far. I've had the set about six months now. Still looks shiny and chic and was a great deal as far as I'm concerned. Good luck!

My set has held up wonderfully! It truly looks like the day I received it and it has weathered some pretty rough weather. Snow, ice, and some pretty hot days as well. It is now 3 yrs. old.

We've had it for a few years and it looks pretty good. I just bought one for my father in law and I want to get one for my dad.

I have no idea. The set I previously owned for many years never needed to be replaced.
