Beautiful chairs and an excellent quality of wood. Surprisingly comfortable for an adirondack chair, even without a seat cushion. Bought 3 chairs as a gift for outdoor fire pit area. Assembly did take some time, but not that long once we got the hang of where things went. We plan on staining for a slightly darker color. and can't wait to see the finished product. Well worth the cost and shipping was very quick. May purchase more in the future.
