There is still snow on the ground so I have not spent time out on the deck yet sitting in the chairs, but I think they will work great. The materials seem durable, and I had to have help getting the shipping box in the house it was so heavy. Easy to assemble. I think my only disappointment was the fabric of the cushions as it seems cheap and reminds me of airline seats. The seats are also not lounging seats, their form makes you sit up straight and have good posture which will work, they are just not for someone looking to sink into a chair, recline a little and relax.
