The first time I sat in these chairs after assembling I got a splinter in my arm. They looked great at first, but after one season the chairs are cracked and faded. I had to completely refinish the table top. They were covered and stored all winter, but out in the open April-Nov. The arms of the chairs do not fit under the table to push in, so it has a very large footprint when not in use. We should have spent the money for real teak in the first place since this will need to be replaced after only one summer.
