I purchased two of these to go on my front porch. My handy man put them together and said there were no issues. The chairs are very comfortable, and well-made. They have a nice warm color to them and are not finished, but I am not going to seal/varnish them, as the Florida heat will cause the varnish to peel. Really nice rockers for the price. I looked around quite a bit at similar chairs and these were the best find. Very happy.
