I bought two of these the other day for my bay/beach house on the coast, in the hopes that they would be a good purchase. I was wrong. These won't last the year. I was able to get one built without splintering the wood, but not the other one. I am supersized they recommend using a drill driver to put these together. I had my drill on the lowest setting and it still splintered the wood. These are just way too flimsy. I'm a normal size man, 200 pounds and every time I sit in one of these I'm afraid it will break. I'm very disappointed. Do not buy these stay away.
