Great item! I will be ordering another one so that I can have them on my front porch. Although they are plastic, it feels really well made. It is comfortable and the cup holder is a really nice addition. Mine is in black. It does have a “grainy” look that makes it appear nicer than a traditional plastic chair. It has not been out in the weather yet, so I am not sure how that will go, but based on its material I don’t expect any issues. Well worth the cost.
