This is a beautiful lounge chair and it appears to be very well made: sturdy and durable. It was easy to put together. I did 2 chairs by myself in about 1.5 hours. The cushion is nicer than it looks in the photo. It's very firm which is good for me but my husband thinks it's too hard (this is the reason for 4 stars instead of 5). As long as it holds up in the Florida sun and rain I will be very happy with this purchase.
