Bought these for my dock. Thought I would get one season out of them. 4 months later, never covered still look great. Im only 56 so I find the low profile very comfortable. Im tearing down the river bench on the east side of the property and putting them there replacing with a new set next year for the dock. Before assembly recommend threading the bolts. Pretty tight tolerance when putting together so want to make sure your bolt going in proper alignment.
