Garden Oasis  Grandview 7 Pc. Dining Set

The set arrived last Friday, 5/3, in two large boxes, on the scheduled day and within the delivery time window. Chair assembly was very easy, though time-consuming for one person. Another person would not have helped here because of the cramped location of two of the chair's four bolts. All bolt holes lined up but I still took the advice of others here and left them loose until all four were started. Chairs look good and are very comfortable. My wife helped me assemble the table, and here help was needed. It would have taken longer for me alone and even then it would have been an aggravating struggle. However, result is a nice, large table that feels very sturdy. Some small scratches were evident, but I called the company today and they are sending some touch-up paint for this set, free of charge, via FedEx. The finished set is much nicer than the price would indicate.

We are very pleased with our Dining Set. We have set it up in our recently remodeled four-season room. The set seems very well made and should last a number of years. We assembled it ourselves without too much difficulty. We were able to purchase set at a very reasonable cost, and we compared Sears product to several other stores. Much better quality for far less price. Thank You

We LOVED this set when we first received it. It really fit in with the overall look of our home and gave us a new way to enjoy our expansive patio. We barely had it a month when we heard an enormous crash (today). We looked out the window, and the table had shattered. I guess a gust of wind had tipped it. There really wasn't any other reason for it. To add injury to insult (yes, I phrased that correctly), the glass wasn't tempered, which means that one of my kids was cut on a shard of broken glass even after we'd thought we had gotten it all cleaned up. Be careful if you purchase this. It's not safe, and Sears will NOT stand behind it.

This set looked beautiful when we bought it, but after just 2 seasons of use, the chairs are coming apart and the paint is peeling in sheets. I contacted both Sears and the Vender, Nu Mark only to find out that the paint is under warranty for 1 year (aka 1 season as this is a patio set) - so plan on the paint coming off after little use. Also the Frame of the chair where the chair arms and back of the chair meet are coming apart. Frame is warrantied for 5 years, but guess what - you pay shipping and handling which means you pay for a new chair. Nu Mark Vender charges nearly $22/chair to send you a new one. So, my advice - Don't buy this product. It looks great, but looks are deceiving in this case.

We are quite pleased with the set, but assembly of the chairs was more difficult than necessary. After spending an inordinate amount of time on the first, following the provided directions exactly, I began to experiment and found that doing exactly the opposite worked FAR better. Aligning the bolts into the arms is the tricky part, so I did it first (only loosely), then the lower bolts, then tighten everything. By the sixth chair, it took only a few minutes. So, good item, poor instructions.

Haven't really gotten to use it. Assembly was a little more difficult than I would have liked.

This set was good the first year, then by the end of the second summer it was rusted out. Though advertised as all aluminum it has a steel bar and screws that support the seat. This has rusted out, and although it's still under warranty, neither Sears, or Numark Industries has been helpful at providing new parts.

My husband and I were very pleased with the quality of the Grandview dining set. My husband is a tall man, the high backs are comfortable for both of us. Also being a big man we needed a set that could support his weight. We haven't used the set because of the weather. But as appearance and structure we are very happy. Looking forward to relaxing with this on our lake retreat. We only had one problem, one of the chair bases was worped. Call and received a new base within 3-4 days.

Great set! Cannot get replacement parts unless willing to spend more than the thing cost initially!

Product looks good. Difficulty assembling chairs--advice by previous raters helped. We love it. Chairs are very comfortable. Recommend to those looking for quality at a reasonable price.
