These chairs are beautiful. I think they look better and more like wood than other, more expensive, chairs I own for outdoors. One thing you should be aware of - the holes for the last slat on the seat are too small and need to be drilled deeper (the holes are on a slant and so is the slat and the slat is right next to the back of the chair). The point is - if you do not drill those holes about 1/4 inch deeper you will end up stripping your screw when you put the slat on. This is true across all 4 chairs that I bought. So, drill the hole deeper (not wider) and your screw will easily go in and you will be happy. I ended up stripping the screws on two chairs before I figured this out. Trust me, it isn't your fault - the screw will simply not go into such a shallow hole - just do it and you will be so thankful for this information! Anyway, buy the chairs - they are gorgeous and look better than POLYWOOD.
