We purchased these chairs to replace some very cheap plastic deck chairs. I sit on the deck for hours each day with my book, laptop or knitting, so these already have had plenty of use over the past 2 weeks. The packaging was impressive. No sticky tape to untangle and all pieces arrived in good condition. From reading other reviews on this seller's Etsy page, I expected some assembly. We put two of them together in about 1 hr with two people and a couple of screwdrivers. The screws enter at very specific angles, so I was happy to find that we did not have any issues with this in either chair. My husband was the one reading the directions, but didn't seem to have any trouble with them. They are sturdy and sit at a nice angle. We chose the oil finish, which is beautiful and smooth. I'm very happy with these chairs.

These chairs look great and they are the perfect size and fit. I couldn't be happier with the result and would recommend them to anybody. They do need assembly and the assembly is not for the faint of heart. Don't attempt the assembly if you are not skilled with a cordless screwdriver and a lot of patience. Be careful and go slow - it is definitely possible to crack certain pieces and you don't want to do that!

We are delighted with the pair of chairs we bought. Their comfort is excellent as we suspected it might be from their shape . The kit was a little problematic as some hole for screws didn't line up, but I build my own furniture and was able to overcome any issues. I like the solid construction and it looks like they will stand up to Oregon weather with no worries.
