Abernon 32" Patio Bistro Set

so cute and easy to put together- glad i purchased it

Very nice bistro set. Easy to put together.

Durable and pleasant on the eye

I have been wanting patio furniture for quite some time. It took me a while to make a decision on what I wanted before I finally decided on this particular set. I wanted something that would be weatherproof, that I wouldn't need to haul into the garage every winter. I wanted something to be comfortable and durable. I'm willing to assemble items, I do it all the time and usually have no difficulty. When this finally arrived (there were issues) I set aside some time to put it together. First I did the chairs. The first one took me about 30 minutes the second one about 12 minutes. That does not count the tightening up of the bolts. The instructions for the chairs tell you to refrain from tightening any bolts until all bolts are in place and then once assembly is complete tighten down all the screws. I did that. Once the chairs were assembled I went around to every bolt and tightened it a half a turn before I moved on to the next, going around all the bolts this way maybe a half a dozen times or more. This was to be sure that the chair was even as possible and that the other bolts would not get out of position by over tightening one bolt before the others. The chairs are rickety. They are comfortable to sit in per se but I don't feel super comfortable on them because I'm not sure how long they're going to hold out. The table instructions are extremely lacking. They give you the order of the bolts, washers, spring washers, and nuts but they don't tell you where in that sandwich part B1 goes. I had to think about it a while before I decided that be one should go between Bolt-I and washer K. At least that's what I did. The table seems less rickety but then again I'm not going to sit on it. It is very light and if you were going to use an umbrella of some sort you will definitely want to have one of those weighted bases. This furniture is supposed to be Wayfair certified. If that is the case then whoever certified this should be demoted. I would fully expect if it was Wayfair certified that meant there would be no issues with poor instructions that are so common these days. And while the furniture is attractive and materials durable I'm not sure how long the chairs will last. The specifications say capacity for 250 lb per seat. I'm 190 lb and just not sure this is going to hold up. I'm disappointed with the whole experience.

These are amazing chairs. Super comfy. No cushions needed. Pretty easy to assemble. Extra quick if you have a second pair of hands!
