From start to finish this Lifetime Product has been wonderful.  I purchase many things via the internet and none have ever been packaged as well.    The screws were encased in plastic - not the normal plastic bag that many put together products are.  Which meant no frustration or lost or missing parts.    With the help of my 8 year old grandson my husband assembled the chair.     Everyone had to test the chair out once it was put together.  It is comfortable and I foresee at family gatherings it will be the chair everyone wants to sit in.    I have owned several Adirondack chairs over the years but none have been made as well as this one.  I have never been disappointed with products from Lifetime Products (and I own many)....and highly recommend this chair and any of their products.
