Sicilia Rattan 2 Seat Bistro Set in Dove Grey with Black Glass

I’d love to say how great this set is - I’d love to, but I can’t! Once assembled, it seems sturdy and good quality, but assembly is the worst I’ve ever come across - and I’ve done lots of flat-pack, including several from Wayfair which is normally good. What were the problems? First, as usual these days the “instructions” are just diagrams, but these leave much to be worked out by yourself. For example, part “I” on the table looks like a washer, but it’s not, it’s a 1cm thick spacer, one of which didn’t have a hole in the middle! Second, the brackets on the table “legs” (parts B & C) are not consistent sizes between the slot centres (vary from 15cm to 17cm), so don’t line up. The bolts supplied (part F) are barely long enough to engage the nuts on lined-up slots and are way too short to skew them for the misaligned ones. I had to scour my “man tin” for suitable nuts, bolts, washers to get the thing assembled. The Allen key was also soft & slightly loose in the bolt heads so I had to supply my own. I had similar problems with the chairs, in that the rear-of-seat bolt was fine and one of the other 2 bolts then fitted, but the third wouldn’t line up. The bolts to attach to the chair legs also needed real weight (kneeling on the sides!) / strength to get them aligned enough to get the bolts in. As I’ve said, I did get it assembled - but it took way longer than it should, with inadequate fixings. If it was a “cheap” item this would maybe be excusable, but this set cost £509 and I expect much better at this price.

Looks nice but table not easy to assemble.

The end quality really good but had issues with Screws and Nuts which need to be reviewed by the supplier. Shorter screws needed on seats and longer on ones on table. If I had not had spare screws to=hand I could have been sending it all back. Now its all together excellent set.

This is not good quality the screws do not fit the table in not sturdy atall. Poor value for £510 if I was not going to lose nearly £100 to send it back I would. Poor value for the money
