Thoroughly impressed!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you’ve ever assembled prefab furniture, you already know that it’s best to expect some challenges…. if not a call and/or email to the manufacturer to at least request a couple of missing parts! Well, I have to admit that there is ONE thing that disappointed me with these chairs: The fact that it’s wintertime, so I can’t get some way-better photos of them outside! Seriously though, I’m super happy with this set. While the aluminum frames might seem a little “less than” when you’re pulling everything out of the box, you understand why they went that way once you lift the seat and back assemblies: These suckers would be BRUTALLY heavy if all the metal components were steel! Once it’s all put together, they have that really nice balance of being sturdy enough that you don’t worry about whether they’ll hold a full-grown adult, while still being easy to pick up and move around without throwing out your back. Even better, they’re really comfortable! As noted above, all the hardware is there, which I LOVE to see - I’ve been through more than one kit that was missing bolts, washers, and more, but not today! Even better, the design is well-engineered, the instructions are clear, and the parts are manufactured with tight enough tolerances that I didn’t have to wrangle ANYTHING. Just be sure not to tighten down any of the bolts before you’ve got them all threaded, then stand it up, shake it a little until the feet are all level, then torque them all down - I had the first one finished in 15 minutes!
