These are really nice. I love the shape and ease of assembly. They came in good time. These are outdoor chairs but I bought for indoor use. They appear to be stained but not varnished. I read in one review that the finish wore off  and I could see this happening. The wood is a bit rough but I am going to varnish them as I really love them. This is the only reason I am not giving a 5 star. They are darker than the website (more true teak in colour and match the colour from the pictures sent in with Reviews). Very comfortable.
