Balthazar Outdoor Dining Set

Rating

This set is very easy to put together even though I broke the Allen Wrench during assembly. This set of outdoor furniture is very sturdy and has solid construction.CHAIRS: the seats of the chairs are not secured by any screws, so the seat platform just layes within the frame loosly. The chairs are solid and sturdy and roomy; however, there is absolutely no countour to the back rest whatsoever, so a lower lumbar pillow is needed for any sort of comfort.BENCH: the bench is constructed just like the seats and is well built. It also has no contour and needs lower lumbar pillow support. The bench is wider and the arms are higher than the table. THE BENCH DOES NOT FIT UNDER THE TABLE, so you have to lean forward on the edge of the seat to eat.TABLE: Easy to assemble and although a bit narrow, it is perfect to seat four.I am considering purchasing two more chairs separately for the dining table and using the bench elsewhere as an accent piece because it really does not work with the table, oddly enough.

The set is very well made and looks great, but the assembly was difficult. It required turning large screws with supplied Allen wrenches by hand, which was extremely tiring.

We were very happy with the appearance of this set. Looked a lot like how it appeared online. However, within the first week of having it, the table cracked in the middle when our umbrella was blown over during a storm. Not the best quality.

I was really excited about getting this set before I received it:Good points:- I like the back design of the chairs/bench- The shipping was super-fast (about a week)- The furniture is packed well. Bad points: - The BENCH DOES NOT FIT UNDER THE TABLE (that's why the furniture is arranged in the picture like it is - meaning that when you sit on the bench you have to lean way-forward to reach the table.)- The stain on the chairs, bench, and table are all different. The arm chairs are a deep funky red color. The bench has a very light stain. It makes the set look mixed-matched despite the design.- The joints on the bench were not constructed very well and needed to be modified in order to fit together.- One of the main structural bolts for the bench is missing - not something that you can pick up at a hardware store. I've been in touch with Overstock and they're going to try and send me a replacement.- Slats that make up on the top of the table do not fully fit into the joints - looks like it's going to be prone to damage/breaking through if anything super heavy is placed on it.What a pain - just spent a couple of hours putting the furniture together (it comes in flat boxes).Definitely would NOT have purchased this if I was able to see it in person first.
