Best Choice Products 5-Piece Wicker Dining Set Patio Furniture Review

3/31/2021

For the longest time I wanted to get some patio furniture, but for one reason or another I always put it off.

It wasn’t within budget one year.
Another year we were going to be traveling most of the summer.
Another year I couldn’t decide what I wanted.

Well... when 2020 hit and I knew I was going to spend literally every day of summer at home all day, I decided NOW was the time to finally get some patio furniture. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out exactly what I wanted - was it comfy chaise loungers, a bistro set, a traditional picnic table, a conversation set, a bench swing? (Read 6 Things To Consider When Choosing Patio Furniture)

There were so many choices. But finally I decided at really wanted a simple dining set. A weatherproof material that wouldn’t require maintenance (ie no wood!), chairs with backs, a table top that was equally good for dining on as it was for working on with a laptop or iPad. I found that some of tabletops were wicker and I just didn’t anticipate that being ideal. Imagine cleaning up food crumbs getting stuck in all those cracks? Other tables looked really cheap in quality. Still others came with a hefty price tag or a size that didn't suit my space. Finally I decided on a set from Best Choice Products.

Shipping & Delivery - Best Choice Products Patio Furniture Review

I ordered this set from Amazon and it actually came in 2 boxes on 2 different days. You’ll need to wait until both boxes arrive in order to assemble the set. The boxes were a bit mangled on the outside but nothing appeared to be damaged inside. There was a small knick on a piece as you can see below, but not from the shipping. Very minor and not really noticeable after assembly. I actually forgot about it until looking back at these pictures almost a year later.

Assembly - Best Choice Products Patio Furniture Review

The assembly process of the Best Choice Products Patio Furniture Dining Set was okay. It’s not a super quick assembly, but it’s also not that hard. Just take your time. When you’re assembling the chairs, and maybe this is obvious to most people, make sure to only screw in each area part of the way at first and then tighten everything down. If you tighten one area totally sometimes you can’t get the screw to reach on another side. But if you screw everything in just part way then somehow you can get everything together and screw them all in tightly. (If that makes sense?)

The one issue that we had was with the table. The rod that goes across the table and has the umbrella hole in the center of it was literally not long enough to reach either side as you can see in the photo below. I tried to reach out to the customer service via Amazon but I’m not sure they understood the scenario. We were able to kind of bend the frame just enough to get the rod and screws to catch and be secure. We didn’t have any trouble with it all season, so that worked out, fortunately.

Another thing to note is that some of the screw holes were partly covered over, making it a little more challenging to assembly. However, once you get it put together, it's already forgotten. Still, just wanted to share as many details as I can remember in case it is helpful for you in your purchase decision or assembly process.

Quality & Durability - Best Choice Products Patio Furniture Review

I am really impressed with the quality of this 5 piece wicker dining set from Best Choice Products.
Is it perfect? No. But at this price point, why would I expect it to be?
For instance, it’s true that the cushions are kind of thin and not especially plush. But they are fine.
It is true that it should really have some pillows too, I had a couple already so that was perfect.
The glass top scratches fairly easily. There are some fine scratches on my table top and I’m not even sure when/how they got there..

But let me tell you something crazy. This patio set was outside all winter in a snowy northern climate. At one point there was more than a foot of snow on top of this table. I thought for sure it was going to be broken, damaged, rusted somewhere etc .... but here I am. Typing on it right now. It looks exactly how it did when I last used it in the fall. I am so impressed. YMMV, I can’t tell you what’s going to work for you, but I can tell you this set has worked well for me and was definitely one of my top purchases of 2020. Easily. I wish I would have bought it 5 years ago.

Necessary Accessories - Best Choice Products Patio Furniture Review

To fully enjoy this best choice products 5 piece wicker dining set, I also purchased a 10 ft tilting solar led umbrella from Best Chocie Products as well as a steel umbrella base from abba patio store.

Pro Tip: Be sure to get an umbrella base that can safely hold your size of umbrella. They are stupid-expensive, but worth it for the piece of mind they will bring.

As for theBest Choice Products 10ft umbrella - I love it! It’s great to be able to tilt it to get the moving sun out of your eyes or to give a little privacy from neighbors. It’s also quite fun to put on the led lights when it starts to get dark. Is it waterproof? Not really. I mean, this is a patio umbrella mainly to shield you from the sun. Light rains will bead off of it, but if it starts pouring you will get wet. Speaking from experience lol. I got the navy color and by the end of summer you can see where the sun bleached the color out. A lot of people complain about that, but if I’m being honest, I don’t really care. When I’m outside and it’s opened, I can’t see that at all? That’s just me. Overall I would recommend the umbrella. It’s a good price (around $80, shipped) compared to other options and unless you abuse it, you should get lots of use from it! Hope this helps you if you were on the fence about this particular set!
