Customer Reviews for Hampton Bay Middletown 7-Piece Patio Dining Set with Cushion Insert (Slipcovers Sold Separately)

I purchased this table set less than four years ago. Within the first year, I started to see rust spots. They continued to get worse with time. Then the finish started to pucker and flake off. The table is now a hazard to use. There are large patches of exposed metal covered in rust and the finish continues to flake. We have to keep our toddler away from it so she does not cut herself.

Rust forms in the lattice part of the table very quickly (within a year). And, if anything dings the paint, say, the two chairs touch, rust instantly forms. It is not worth buying outdoor furniture that rusts like this. The paint seems to be very thinly applied. I bought a different patio set years ago from Home Depot that is painted aluminum. On that set, even though the paint has chipped a little bit, at least it doesn't rust out.

Love the chairs and the covers. The captain are great- super easy to assemble, and shows really well to guest. Table is big enough to pull up a few more chairs and seat 8 for a large dinner!! For the price we paid. Really happy!!!

After spending 2-3 hours to assemble this product, I realized that the table top was dented and scratched. The boxes they came in were pretty much destroyed so it was impossible to take the table and chair apart and ship back to store. Plus it would take another 2-3 hours to assemble once I received new table and chairs. Forced to take a small credit for damaged goods.

Love this set. Being able to pick the color of cushion color was a plus. Beautiful set.

Solid table and relatively easy to assemble. I'm rather proud of myself for doing it alone! It took me about four hours total to put together. The tools needed to screw everything in come with the set, so no need to own a toolbox. For someone like me who is a "DIY Newbie" I was happy that the directions were easy to understand and the pieces were easy to assemble. The cushions don't come with a cover, and I refuse to spend that much on coverings so...that is a downside. I haven't figured out yet what to do with them. But aside from that we have had this up for a couple of weeks and enjoyed meals and festivities around our new table! The swivel rocking chairs are a nice touch for my friends coming by with babies. They can rock them to sleep and still be part of the party! Pros: Solid. Large chair size to accommodate our larger friends. Easy to assemble. Comes with mini tools needed. Great price if you find it on sale especially! Large size table. Hole for umbrella pole/stand. Cons: Additional expense for cushion covers. It does take a couple of hours to assemble.

This is a nice sturdy set that was easy to assemble. But the table top has a half dozen areas that is covered with a thick, yellow adhesive (like built up rubber cement) , and a deep 8" scratch in the center top. It was boxed up tight when it arrived and couldn't be inspected until we were ready to assemble. We thought the damage was something we could wash off when we were done. Its too much work to disassemble, return, and do-over. Also - the cushion covers that are promoted as paired with this set, but needs to be bought separate - they simply don't fit. They're too small and you'll find an awkward "bow" in the seat. I assume over time they'll morph to fit but frankly the entire set looks old. Its heavy. It looks durable. It was easy to assemble. Its relatively inexpensive. But I wouldn't call it high quality. I'm trying to figure out who to send the pictures to.

I really like the design of the chairs and cushions. However, the table is metal which match the chairs. The product is made in China. The joints/seams ALL over the top of the table were not primed after welding process. The top is rusting badly along all the seams. It looks terrible. It is such a shame since the design is attractive. But there is no way there should be all this rust.

The table lasted less than 1 year. The paint started bubbling and then came off and then rusted. Very disappointing as this is considered to be "outdoor" furniture. Did not last in Texas weather.

great

Looks beautiful . We love it in our backyard! Heavy and looks classy

After getting five of the six chairs put together, we discovered the sixth chair had a badly bent leg. We went ahead and put the table together and when we turned it over to set it upright, the top was badly dented. The shipper delivered it to our house and the boxes were intact. I can not complain about the product but it was take back the damaged chair and table to Home Depot and let them order a whole new set, have it delivered to the store so the boxes could be opened and inspect the table top and get a chair with straight legs. A lot of hassle but fortunately we own a pick up truck!! The cushion covers were a pleasant surprise since the color is good on my porch but it is not what I saw online!

The dining set was lovely when initially setup....a month into regular summer use and it's turned into a rust bucket! I'm very disappointed in the quality of this purchase.

The set is great but I never received the lumbar cushions and the tabletop was evidently bent in shipping. Not enough to return it but enough to be a bit annoying.

Minimal assembly require and what was, was easy to do. Have only had it for a few weeks but seems like a good value.

We love this patio set. We also purchased the cushions separately at HD at a super great price

Easy to assemble. Looks great. Very enjoyable. Comfortable.

This patio set turned out to be exactly what I wanted. It was shipped to the local Home Depot arriving earlier then expected. It was easy to assemble and ready when our company arrived.

Wasn't difficult to assemble, so far seems to be a good purchase

I ordered this set on July 31st. Picked up the set on August 6th. Table was dented. I called for a replacement on August 6th and I finally received the replacement table on August 17th and the corner of the table was smashed and the box had footprints. I asked for the new table to be expedited and I am still waiting.

Great value for a great price! The chairs and table were easy to put together and look good on our patio.

Have had this set for 3 weeks and it's already showing signs of rust :(. Particularly disappointing since this is the driest michigan summer in years!

Delivered on time. very easy to assembled. my 12 & 14 yrs. old helped me built all the chairs & table. I ordered sunbrella covers so they came a week later and they are awesome. we are loving our dining set.

Get our patio set fast and it looks great! Has to be out together but is well worth it!

I love the design and look of this set. The chairs are comfortable and everything was generally easy to assemble. BUT I have barely had it at my new house for a month and there are already signs of rusting. The driest season on record... There hasn't been much water on it! Not sure what to do here to be honest.

Easy to assemble and looks fabulous on my back patio

Excellent design, easily assembled and very comfortable. No regrets on decision to purchase this Dining set.

This set is nice, seems durable and was easy to put together. The price is great compared to other sets. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because the cushion slipcovers that you need and do not come with the set are too expensive and after reading the reviews they are not all that great. I have decided to make my own.

Love this set. Perfect for entertaining! Very comfortable and great quality for the price. Definitely recommend.

I liked it now came perfect the second time around thanks to their freight delivery
