These chairs seem sturdy enough, and the navy is a nice blue color (although not a true navy). They are plastic as described, not polywood. There is a woodgrain pattern molded into the plastic which is hard to see in the product photos. That "woodgrain" look is not my favorite, but for the price these look nice and got here quickly. The first took a long time to put together. Even after doing a few, each still took about 45 minutes from start to finish.
