The chair is very attractive, and looked even better after I gave it a treatment of teak oil.  I bought this particular chair as it has a weight capacity of 350 lbs., and I am expecting visitors this summer who need sturdy seating.  However, the width of the seat of this chair will not accommodate someone of that size. I am keeping the chairs, because I need the seating, and they are the best value for the money that I found.
