In about 2006, we spent a LOT of money on a Mallin outdoor set - table, eight chairs, swing, some poolside lounges, and some other stuff. Can't recall the exact amount, but well over $5K, as I recall, and maybe even approaching $8K. In any event, the table, mostly, has pretty much fallen apart. Numerous parts of the table have fallen off over the years, and I've glued them back on. Now, it just still keeps breaking. The chairs we've used (some have not been used much) are not holding up well. We're now going to go buy all new furniture, but we won't be stopping at Chair King. BTW, I fully realize that there is no eight year warranty, but, quite honestly, I assumed this stuff would last far longer than it has, and not fallen apart as quickly and as much as it has. Very disappointing, particularly considering the cost.
