The chairs were fairly easy to assemble. I ordered these chairs in September 2023 and 
stored them inside for the winter. I brought them out of storage in March 2024. The first time they got wet, rusty water was running out of the areas that have screws and end caps. The rusty water has stained my patio.
No where does it state that the chairs cannot be used out in the open. This is definitely a manufacturing defect.
