Love this chair. I bought two.  Finished putting them together, once I used Linseed Oil on it.  The oil really made a difference and took about 3.75 hours to do a thorough application on both.  They seem well made, but I will put a few screws to it in two different locations, to reinforce.  One slide rail (under seat to hold up ottoman) was very loose. I will pre-drill some holes and insert small stainless steel screws to avoid future problems.  All additional screws will be out of sight and used solely for added strength. Who knows, maybe not needed, but what the heck.  Haven't used them yet, but initial seating seems very comfortable.  They look great and I'm looking forward to summer!!!
