Despite the other reviews, please do your homework prior to purchasing. These are not outdoor chairs. The paint comes off in the box when you open the package. Better yet, there will be 3 pieces of paper in the box, 1 of which states to "apply one or two coats of (non-included) polyurethane right away." Despite this concerning information, you should also note that the wood pieces weigh less 8 ounces a piece and they will show marks/damage right out of the box. Poor quality, made in China. Invest your hard-earned money in chairs made to last. The 4 purchased chairs will be going back asap.
