We wanted 8 comfortable chairs for our deck that were largely weatherproof, but had a quality look and feel to them.  We were impressed by these chairs.   They are comfortable and both swivel and glide.  Certainly the cushions should be taken off if the weather is very wet, but the frames look bullet proof.  Assembly was not hard, but it did take some time, particularly with 8 to complete.  Instructions are very clear.  The side tables also look great and are larger than we expected.  We are very happy with these chairs, they are exactly what we were looking for.
