Iron Tropico 7-piece Patio Set

Rating

The patio set was nice when I received it, but two years later, the paint is all coming off to reveal rusted iron. Paint is coming off in great big pieced revealing poor quality of iron used to make the patio furiture. I had to take brush to remove rust then spray each piece several times. Still nice furiture, but did not hold it shape.

I purchased this patio group in April 2008. By June of the same year, the wrought iron had faded from black to dull charcaol. When the furniture arrived it was damaged with dents and major skinned spots. I voiced my concerns and Overstock refunded a large portion of the price back, but by one years exposure in the mountains of western North Carolina the furniture has huge chunks of the black coating and paint coming off. The furniture is extremely rusty and it is embarrassing to think that I paid this much for the quality of furniture that I now have. It visually looks impressive because it is beautiful on my patio but looking closer one is deceived by its beauty. I now have to figure out how to salvage the metal to make it a few more summers of usage. The seats are big and it was easy for me to put together without any help from my husband. If you want something unlike anything in local retail stores buy this, but also invest in lots of paint for the rust.

The only real problem with the outdoor furniture is that it began rusting after the first dampness outside. This necessitated us in giving the new furniture a coating of rust proof paint. The rusting came at the weld points. On the good side, it was easy to construct and arrived on time. The construction is solid. the seats are also wide. It was worth the money paid but not happy about having to rust proof it after arrival.

My first review, ever. Just purchased this 7 piece patio set last week for our patio and and my husband and I are extremely pleased with it. He is not handy with assembly but we were able to put the 6 chairs together in about an hour. So easy, we did not ever have to consult the instructions. (They are in the box with the table.) We had a problem with one screw fitting into the slot, but after loosing one bolt, we got it. The other 5 chairs were a breeze. The table is awesome! But the main thing we love is the appearance, construction and durability. This furniture is heavy with big, deep seats. I give the value 6 stars. I have another wrought iron set for the my deck and and I was worried that this set would look cheap. To my surprise...this set is far superior to the one I paid much more for last year.
