Walker Edison Dominica Contemporary 3 Piece Slatted Acacia Wood Outdoor Dining Table and Bench Set

Attractive furniture set at an inexpensive price. Seems to be very solid, especially for a self assembled item. Assembly was not a problem - no missing pieces, misaligned holes, or erroneous directions - but did take a while, especially for the table (Note: The through holes are counter sunk for the bolt heads on one side, so it is important to insure that you have each piece turned in the correct orientation before inserting the bolts, or else you will be removing them and rotating the piece. Some of the holes in question are not utilized until future steps, so you have to think ahead as to what the correct orientation should be). I used a power driver with the proper bit, which sped things up tremendously, but it would be very slow and tedious using only the supplied Allen Wrench, for those who do not have their own necessary tools.Update 4/2018: Purchased this fall of 2017, and, as indicated above, was very satisfied. It was never actually used, but, after sitting on deck all winter, has a number of problems with cracking, pieces that were glued together separating, finish deteriorating, etc. I kept meaning to treat with teak oil, as recommended and might have helped, but never got around to it. That shouldn't be a strict requirement anyway, and should certainly not be necessary to keep the furniture from falling apart after a few months of non-use over a mild southern winter. I had assumed that acacia wood was fairly durable in itself, but, as indicated, it has not held up, while another chair of cheap, soft, unfinished pine has survived just fine. Very disappointed with the durability of this item.

This is definitely a "buyer beware" product.The furniture looks beautiful in the picture. It's not so great in real life; the finish in many places was "rough". Still, I decided to adapt to a rustic look because I love Acacia wood and it matches some beautiful chaise lounges I purchased earlier from Amazon. I spent 1.5 weeks oiling every single piece and assembling the furniture. I was using the furniture on my back screened patio (free from the elements) and found that, without the leaf, the table made a perfect desk so I could work outside. Yesterday, the third time I used it, the chair I've been using broke! I'm not a big guy and I don't weigh a lot. The chair broke because of poor quality. It did not break at an assembly point, it broke in the core of the chair. A main support.I called Amazon Customer Service and, as always, they were very professional. Unfortunately, return options were limited because the "return period had expired". I purchased the furniture on 9/12; the return period expired on 10/22/2017. Just a little more than a month. Amazon was able to get things worked out for me and I can assure you that I will not purchase furniture from this manufacturer ever again. Also, I will be verifying the duration of return periods when I make a large purchase like this.

The style and price of the table were exactly what I was looking for-- though when it arrived, it was a little cheaper quality than I had anticipated given the price tag. I've also had to now seal it with Teak Oil (which took a while) because when it arrived the wood was so dry that in the sun a few of the table slats have already warped. So now that I've sealed it it's repelling water nicely and has a deep shine. We use it with an umbrella but have it in the direct sun and rain and I expect we'll have to seal it again in the fall.So three stars, because the style is awesome and modern, though I didn't expect the wood to be so dry upon arrival and thought quality would be a little better... Assembly time was ok- just a lot of parts-- and God bless the recycling guys because this came in like 14 separate boxes.Oh and they told me that I would have to select a delivery time/window and then it arrived here like two days later without anyone having to sign for it at all- pleasant surprise.

Easy to assemble but DO NOT BUY. I watched the price for months until it was back down to $700 for the 6 piece set. We then received a 4 piece set because the last 2 chairs never came despite Amazon trying to resolve the shipping error for the 4th box. Then I just sat on 1 of the chairs (only been assembled for one week) and it cracked. Also during assembly the bench pieces came partially assembled but they put a screw in backward so we had to hack our own bolt and nut to keep the bench from wobbling.We got a full refund and won’t be ordering the last 2 chairs since they apparently aren’t sturdy. What a disappointment. It would have been perfect for our family of 6.

This a really nice patio dining set. It did take some time to assemble but was straightforward and made sense compared to other items I’ve assembled. It’s good quality. It exceeded my expectations and I recommend it to others.
