These chairs and the ottomans are beautiful and just what we were looking for! The four star vote vs five is simply to note that a large hinged cushion is necessary (and even more comfortable) since the chairs are so deep. Without the cushions, even the tallest person may feel slumped back into the chair. We also lightly sanded the teak and applied one coat of teak oil to make sure they're set up and protected for a hot summer. The wood looks even more beautiful and rich. Note, if using teak oil, do only one coat. Two coats created a stickiness and seemed unnecessary due to the initial saturation. An additional note, one of the chairs came damaged and Birch Lane's response was both timely and generous. We will definitely shop with Birch Lane again.
