The chairs are exactly what I was looking for. They were well packaged, easy to assemble and sturdy. I recommend a cordless drill with a low torque setting and assembly will be quick. (15 mins) You will need a Phillips head bit and Allen bit.As for the look, the wood grain is nice compared to most “poly” type chairs. The chairs are a great value. The chairs are very comfortable without cushions, but I recommend a Adirondack chair cushion if you never want to get up!My issue is not with the chairs but with Fedex. I purchased 8 chairs and they came in 4 boxes. The 4 boxes left the same facility on the same day and time. Two arrived early on a Friday and the other two boxes went to two different cities on the way to me. I will receive another the next day on Saturday and the last two won’t arrive until Monday if I’m lucky.This makes no sense, but is normal for Fedex in my experience. Nothing ever comes on time. The shipper needs to switch to UPS.
