My husband wants to make sure my feedback says the chair was extremely well-made. Very easy to put together. Everything lined up perfectly. Totally impressed. For me - the color is really rich. The lightly texturized surface makes it look less like a piece of plastic - this ended up being a bonus for me. Of course I like the style that is why I ordered it; however, I am really pleased to find, as a short person, my feet nicely touch the ground. I am trying to find a reason to buy another one. The true test will come, over time, as to whether it holds up to our hot summer sun. Happy customers here!
