My wife and I purchased a set of these chairs to go with our new deck. We are very pleased with how sturdy and comfortable they are. Assembly was straight forward and the instructions provided were easy to follow. We originally planned to put a cushion on the seat, but after daily use I feel it is plenty comfortable without. We are now planning to purchase another set of these for the front patio before summer gets here. If you are looking for a chair in this style you will not be disappointed!
