These are great looking chairs. If you didn't know better you would swear they are wooden. The color is beautiful (kind of aqua). We purchased two and they were easy to put together. We have them by our pool and frequently put them on the Baja reef.  The reason for 3 stars vs. 5 is because the finish on the back is getting discolored from people sitting on them with sunscreen on their backs. Nothing has removed the stain. So bottom line...buy them because they are beautiful but don't put them by a pool.
