I purchased these chairs for my patio. They arrived on schedule and we're packaged we'll. It did not take long to assemble them at all. I was pleased with the quality and plan on adding a protective coating on the frame. The wood is slightly rough but after I apply the coating it should be fine. I will apply a coat of teak oil and then the protective seal. Hopefully it will remain beautiful for several years. The cushions are comfortable and should last a couple years. .
