I have purchased several outdoor chairs for my deck over the years.   The chairs all have looked very nice but have ended up being very cheap because of the lightweight materials they use, and they last a year or so.  When I pulled these chair parts out of the box they seemed so much more substantial than any chairs I've gotten before, even for the same price.  The assembly was fast and easy and the chairs are VERY sturdy!  The chairs have a compartment under the seat which is not weather proof but is still a good place to store items.
