These are very sturdy and solid, compared to the $30 adirondacks you find at the big box. They also look great. The hardware is junk and I had three nuts jump the threads and gall them. The directions describe bolts that aren't in the kit, improper lengths. I think they just threw in bolts that were long enough. Two of the factory screws came undone also, stripping the holes they were driven into. The plastic structural parts make it worthwhile though, since they are so solid. Also, FedEx lost one of mine and made me call Wayfair to deal with it. When I did, the rep ordered a new one immediately. Good service.
