Wow, that's a cool listing for me to see! My parents have that exact set, Briarwood. It is the most durable stuff ever. They bought it in 1978 because we were moving to Italy (Dad in the navy) and were going to be living in a fairly high up apartment in Sardinia on a hill with a huge deck and we were advised that with the mediterraean wind gusts of up to 50 or so miles per hour, Woodward was the best and anything else would blow off the huge patio! It was definitely expensive for them at the time. They still have the set on their deck in Rhode Island. It is so well designed that even with no cushions, it is incredibly comfortable. I assume theirs is the smaller scale but I don't know when they changed over to the larger scale. The stuff is beautiful, and indestructible. Dad just paints it with Rustoleum every few years and looks fantastic! I'm going to request it in the will! Hi Pam! Wow, that’s a cool listing for me to see!
