Assembly: The assembly process is quite straightforward. While the first chair took some time due to a learning curve, the second one was assembled in about 10 minutes. A notable advantage is the absence of a cushion, allowing the chair to dry quickly after rain. Unlike cushioned chairs that take forever to dry, this feature is highly convenient. The chair is lighter than expected, making it easy to move. Overall, these are solid patio chairs that offer both convenience and comfort.
