I researched and reviewed endlessly but kept coming back to these patio chairs, simply because they were what best suited what I want; however, I hesitated for a while because they are lower to the ground than most, which is okay for me as I am 5 feet tall but my concern was for my husband who is 10 inches taller.   All the same, I am very pleased that I made this choice as the chairs are well shaped and comfortable in a sturdy material and a pleasing color combination.   My only disappointment, and surprise, was that the carton they arrived in was soaking wet on one end from recent rain in the region, to the point of disintegrating, as well as some of the paper wrap around the arm/leg pieces inside the box.   However, it was all okay and no damage but FedEx needs a shake up to allow this to happen.   Since I cannot locate a section here to comment on shipment handling, this is my only outlet.    I recommend the product.
