What do you get in the box
You will get a love seat, 2 arm chairs, a coffee table and 2 end tables. The frames will be steel with a powder coated finish covered with a woven resin wicker material. The resin wicker is made from recycled materials. The tables will have a tempered glass to cover the resin wicker tops, no shelves on these tables.
The are smaller than the standard size, the coffee table is 31.5 inches long, 17.5 inches wide and 15 inches tall. Most coffee tables are 40 inches by 20 inches and 18 inches tall. The side tables are 15 inches square and 13 inches tall. The side tables will fit under the coffee table when not needed.
The chairs are 24.5 inches wide, 27.5 inches deep and 29.75 inches tall. The love seat will be 44.5 inches wide with the same other measurements. Each seating position will support 250 pounds.
Cushions have a foam center with a polyester blend fabric cover. This is not as good as the Olefin material found on better units, it will require the cushions and pillows to be stored to extend their outdoor life. The covers will have zippers so they can be removed for cleaning or replacing.
Assembly and care of this conversation set
Assembly of the tables will be just adding the legs sets to each end of the table tops using the included tools and hardware. Add glass top and attach with the enclosed hardware.
Assembly of the seating pieces will take a little more effort. The arms have to be attached to the seating portion, then the back is installed. May need some extra hands with these as you will have to hold awkward parts while trying to tighten hardware. Set up on legs for final tightening for best results.
Cushion covers will have to be installed over the foam before use. The cushions should be in a bag, this will be the color difference in each set.
When this set needs cleaning, only use a mild soap and water mixture. Any other chemicals including glass cleaner may damage the painted surfaces.

Four throw pillows for your comfort
Five cushion fabric colors to choose from, covers remove for cleaning
Glass tops can be replaced if broken
Smaller tables can nest under coffee table when not needed

My final opinion of this conversation set
If you need extra tables for your guest to sit their drinks and snacks on the Chelsea resin wicker patio furniture set from Walmart. com will work well with most budgets. The biggest drawback to this set is its physical size, it is much smaller than by sets of conversation furniture. I would think this set would be better for outdoor spaces that are smaller in size, less than 8 X 8 feet, or people of smaller size, not kids but smaller adults. Larger people should avoid this set.
Having the wicker look for under $650 is a great bargain for this set. The resin wicker will last very well in the outdoor environment, the cushions will last a lot less time if not stored when not needed.

Are the cushions and throw pillows waterproof? I guess I worry about stuff that’s upholstered getting moldy when left outside.
Penelope,
The cushions and throw pillows will withstand the outside elements to a degree. Having a storage solution for these items is a must to make them last for several seasons.

One thing I am curious about when it comes to wicker is whether it will survive fire damage. The Hanover outdoor Chelsea resin wicker patio furniture looks nice but would you keep it at a distance from a bonfire or lighting off fireworks? I am assuming that it’s probably going to be okay but furniture always gets moved around when I am not watching people.
Eric,
This collection actually has a chat set with a fire pit. Any material if it gets too close to fire will be damaged. A bonfire should have a circle around it that does not have any furniture, this would be a safety factor. Having about a 10 foot distance from any open fire is recommended for safety. Fireworks can go anywhere when set off, this can be tricky at best.
The resin wicker material will not burn only melt, cushions will be the thing to watch with this set.

John, I really appreciate your honesty in making it clear that in your opinion the “Chelsea resin wicker patio furniture set would be better for outdoor spaces that are smaller in size, or people of smaller size.”
What is the usual delivery time for this set?
Eliane,
IT will take about twelve days to get, if you pick up at a store, you have the option of having Walmart assemble your set. It will be harder to transport home.
