We are still in the process of designing our pool but I wanted to create a little oasis in the backyard until we figured out the design of the pool and landscaping. The chairs require no assembly and look nice, they are heavy enough where I don't fear them blowing away but light enough that they are easy to move around. I took one star off for the cushions. They are really thin and the color is not quite what I expected, I am probably going to just buy new chair cushions or pillows.
