I wanted some comfortable seating for my front porch. These are just the ticket. They arrived ahead of schedule (in time for some weekend entertaining) and were easy to put together. Each chair took about 30 mins to assemble. Directions were easy to follow. The chairs seem of good quality. I love that they fold up so that I can put them away for the winter when that comes. I do plan to seal them so they last longer, but for now - they look great and I'm looking forward to sitting out in the sun and reading a book on a warm summer evening.
