These chairs exceeded my expectations. I was hesitant at first because I thought they were not going to be comfortable or sturdy but the total opposite. They are light and feel sturdy and most importantly they are comfortable! Only time will tell how they hold up to the elements but first impressions are all 5 stars. I just wished they had a royal blue option. Package arrived intact and nicely wrapped. Very easy to assemble you just need to push down hard with all your body weight so they snap properly.
