I love my chairs! There was a moment of difficulty in putting the first one together (really needed another person to assist considering I'm very petite) but after a few tries I figured out how to manage it by myself. It and the 2nd one were a breeze after that. They arrived very quickly and were packaged very well. The quality of the paint and metal appear to be very durable. My front porch is concrete so I though I would have to buy a rug to keep from scratching up the lower frame if it was scooted but there are little standoffs that keep the chair frame off the concrete and keeps the chairs from scooting. I repeat - I love my chairs!
