Chairs arrived in a couple of days from order, but a little confusing as the stated shipping dates didn't match when the chairs were actually shipped.  Initial chair a bit difficult to assemble as the parts list, instruction sheet, and part labeling do not quite match each other.  Lay out the hardware as there are a few extra pieces of some of the items (much, much better than a few less pieces).  Chairs are firm and comfortable, hope they hold up as well as the ones they are replacing (over 20 years outside without a spot of rust).
