I recently purchased 2 of these chairs and I was impressed right off when I opened the boxes they came in.  The chairs needed to be assembled, but was very easy to do.  The chairs are made out of yellow cedar (which by the way smelled really nice!) and are very lightweight.  After I put the chairs together, I then sealed them with a natural stain sealer which made the grain and knots off the wood look really nice.  I am sure that I will enjoy these chairs for a long time to come.
