After a long search for the right Adirondack chair I settled on these and am happy I did.  I wanted the right combination of price, sturdiness and versatility.  Easy assembly....once you take the time to get one together the others go together fairly quickly.  These chairs have the right combination of sturdiness, weight, color and versatility (foldable, storable and transportable) for a reasonable price (some are VERY expensive).  I don't know what the issue is with some comments saying these aren't sturdy.  Maybe they weren't put together correctly (I can't see how that's possible since there are not many different parts or steps) or maybe a product defect, but mine are very sturdy.  They are a little smaller than full-size traditional wooden Adirondacks but they are perfect for our use.  Color is nice but can't comment on fading yet.
