I was hesitant to spend so much on chairs for our backyard - but I am glad I did. I got 4 without the arms, and 2 with arms. They are a great style, but they are also the right combination of sturdy, but lightweight. I love too that you can easily hose them down. We have a couple of close friends that are big people, and they said the chairs are very comfortable and sturdy - which I was very happy to hear because I really was hoping to find chairs that they are suitable for folks of all sizes - which is not easy to test when your buying online. Big thumbs up.
