Karaya 4 seater Dining set

After seeing this in store at a reduced price, I decided to order it online when I got home but then found it had to be ordered in store! So I went back the next day and was very lucky to snap up the exact one I'd seen that was now marked as ex-display. Delivered free on a day of my choosing by two lovely chatty fellas, it JUST squeezed through my garden gate with a little scuff (but its freshly painted so no hardship to touch up).

The set looks great, modern, comfy, option to seat up to 8 (or 4 with their feet up) and all slots together neatly. The glass top polishes up lovely. I don't know if the cushions are supposed to be waterproof, showerproof or stainproof, but after a heavy rainfall and not tucking everything in I realised some of the cushions were saturated but dried easily in the sun - bar one which I've had to take the inner out and turn the cover inside out to fully dry. My fault though! Will get a decent cover for the set as I hope it will last a good while. It lives with 2 large lanterns on it and we've already used it for breakfast and a bbq and stayed out after!

My only quibbles are that the chairs are so neatly tucked in they can be hard to pull out again, especially on an uneven patio like ours, but that doesn't stop me loving the set any less. I've seen some sets with handles cut out at the back but I think that honestly spoils the sleek look the 'cube' effect gives. Also another reviewer has pointed out they've struggled to find a square cover to fit and I am too (so 4* for ease of use) but will keep hunting. Regardless, I love this set!

We are pleased with our purchase but are disappointed to discover that we cannot obtain a square waterproof cover to fit.That is why it only gets 4 stars. So do we blame B & Q for non supply or Blooma for non manufacture?
