Country Living  Fair Oaks 7pc Cast Dining

The finish comes off the furniture if you have any kind of lotion or sunscreen on (not very good if you plan on using it OUTDOORS). It not only comes off the furniture but it turns into a greasy mess on your skin and clothes. Clothes are ruined and grease is very difficult to get off your skin. I am returning this set immediately.

Ordered this set on-line and was delivered to my home the NEXT DAY!! Unheard of! Who does this?!?! Awesome, I love this set. I assembled it myself, took me about a day and a half tho (off and on) because no one else was around that could help me put it together. My advice is to take your time and be patient when putting it together, read and re-read the assembly instructions/diagrams and go slow and do it right the first time, you can avoid frustration that way. I did end up having to use my husband's tool set to finish the job. Although the "tools" that are included with it are a good start you definitely need more out of your own tool box. Chairs are comfortable and I really like the back cushions that are included with the chairs. Looks very attractive on my back deck. We keep the set under an awning, so hopefully the elements won't be too harsh on it. It's so nice to be able to enjoy our backyard more often now that we have this outdoor dining set. Thank you Sears.

Seems to be sturdy construction went together easily. Was missing a cushion but the customer service department at the vendor solve the problem with little diffculty.

The set was delivered on time by courteous drivers. The set was packaged well and appeared to have no visible damage to the box. The table top was pretty, but had a manufacturers defect in the pattern making on section noticeably flawed One of the ends of a stationary chair was crushed and severely scratched resulting in sharp areas. The other chairs all have fine scratches which could be covered by the supplied touch up paint, but I do not know why a new set should require that kind of effort. The assembly took about an hour with one person, but it would have been much easier with a second person. It was a bit tricky to balance the swivel chair pieces when completing, but definitely doable. The set appears to be sturdy, but the fine coating of paint has me concerned that it scratches easily. I contacted the manufacturer about the damaged chairs, scratches, and defected table top. There were responsive, but it will be 6-8 weeks for replacements to be sent. Returning set.

Easy to assemble and the chairs are a perfect size for my family. The pieces are solid and the fabric was more stylish (wife's comment) than we expected. The touch up paint in the shipping set was a very nice touch and I used it to address the scratches on a couple of the chairs. Sturdy, comfortable to sit in and heavy enough that we haven't fished any chairs out of the pool, yet. This is our second Fair Oaks set and had a great experience with the first as well. It looks like we paid a lot more for it than we did. My only complaint about this set was the shipping quality. Sears should invest a little more in padding between the chairs as the rubbed through the cardboard. We called Sears and they handled the issue very well and very efficiently.

I found this set on the Internet on sale at Sears in another state. I went to our local Sears and they matched the of price $499.99. This was last summer I bought it. The only complaint I have is that some of the chair legs were not even and my table top had a small crack. The warranty department was very help and replaced my damaged parts (it did take about 3 months but the warranty department kept me up on the status of my replacement since it came from overseas. This set is very beautiful and I get tons of compliments on it. It was very easy to assemble.

Only down side is it gets very hot in the sun. but it looks great on my deck!

My family finds this dining set attractive and comfortable. The set was very easy to set up. The table and two end chairs took under an hour to put together. The cushions fit in nicely with the decor of the rest of furniture. We are very proud of the set and glad we got it.

Since I just bought this set, I only rated it average. I did order it because it had the best reviews. So far, very comfortable. I will have to see how it holds up to the Midwest weather. This time, I did order the furniture covers, so hoping that will help keep it nice.
