These are exactly what I was expecting. A perfect middle of the road Adirondack chair for a middle of the road price. My husband said he wished they were sturdier, but I think they're plenty sturdy!  They're heavy enough that the heavy winds we get in the back won't push them around (which is super annoying with our other/old chairs). Assembly was fine - although the hardware kit contained different size bolts than the instruction manual (supposed to be 4 shorter and 4 longer but all 8 were the longer) - but we figured it out and the bolts that wouldn't have probably stuck out as far are in inconspicuous areas. I'm pretty small and not the strongest and I assembled 2 of the 4 with ease (for the most part).   I'm looking forward to their minimal maintenance and relaxing in them around the firepit.
