These are great patio chairs. Another reviewer said that the sides were great for cellphones and such and they are! They are bulky, but surprisingly comfortable. They are time consuming to put together, but I did it solo so it may be shorter with two people. The teak wood is beautiful and should weather the seasons for a long time. Well made, sturdy, beautiful and comfortable. I got the set on sale and am very please with the quality and look of the set. I highly recommend these.
