Applaro outdoor furniture is very poorly made. When it arrives, it has a very unpleasant odor that lasts pretty well the whole first season. After that, even if you use the Ikea cover, the finish starts to peel off, and believe me, you can't fix it. You can try the Ikea stain they will sell you, but it will not adhere. Also, the furniture is flimsy. A slat broke in the table, can't fix it due to the way it's made, and a friend sat on a chair and it broke. I don't know what sort of testing they do, but this should not have passed.
