I do really like these chairs, but there were definitely manufacturing defects (holes not drilled all the way through, screws with plastic melted to them that made them unusable) that make assembly difficult. I ordered the cushions separately from Polywood. With cushions, these chairs are great. WithOUT cushions, they are very uncomfortable and they get burning hot in the sun. I don't know why all the photos seem to advertise them with just a throw pillow. All in all happy with purchase.
