Completely meets my expectations. I read many of the reviews before I purchased. This was about the max I wanted to spend on patio furniture. I didn’t want to go the cheap route and just be unhappy and uncomfortable again. 
Level of difficulty putting them together was more than I thought. But I’m usually pretty fast at putting together pieces of furniture. It took longer for the first chair and we had to redo a few things. The second chair was much easier. They seem durable since while putting them together the arms were pulled and pushed to get things in the holes. I may end up buying different seat cushions but these are great for now! I might post a pic when my porch isn’t as messy. I’d definitely buy these again.
