These are great chairs for around the pool. They looked a bit cheap when I first saw them, but for the price they heave been great. They have held up very well in the New England weather for two seasons so far, the are easy to move and they stack neatly for storage. They have not gotten stained or moldy, either, which has been a problem with many of my patio furniture in the past. I added chaise cushions for comfort, and they look very high end now.
