I was disappointed in the quality of the chairs. I bought 4 chairs and each had noticible flaws. The wood on one arm had a split in the wood from the front to the back. There was a significant gouge in another and some minor scrapes on others. There was a clear indication that wood putty was used in all four chairs an attempt to hide other gouges and flaws. Although I like the fact that the chairs have a footstool that extends, they don't fit well and are difficult to tuck back underneath when storing them away. The wood is very light and I don't trust they'll last more than one season.
