The chairs look OK for me, modeled from a real-life model, as well as the 
tables. I've seen real chairs with iron legs that slender, and some that looked 
even thinner. Prety strong despite a somewhat flimsy look.

For the posts, I've seen some that are only resting on the ground, and not set 
into holes nor fastened. Typical for a temporary structure.
