I ordered these chairs because my daughter insisted that we have Adirondack chairs for the fire pit by Christmas and these were the highest rated that could be delivered and assembled in time. Good decision! These chairs are aming! Great design and engineering, clear instructions, and really solid.
The reviewer who trashed them as Cheap China garbage is likely some anti/China xenophobe. I doubt that he/she even opened the box which clearly states manufactured in China. I should note that the box packaging is also a great design.
The other negative reviewer who claimed that the pre/drilled holes in the front supports were wrong probably misread the directions. Theres a diagram in the instructions that points to the front cross/piece holes that must face forward. If not, the other pre/drilled holes for the arm rests wont align properly. I made that same mistake at first, which I realized after re/reading the instructions. Its not like some random guy is pre/drilling these holes. The Chinese have figured out mass/production, which is highly automated.
When installing the backrest, it would help to have someone hold it upright when attaching it to the armrests and side supports. If not, Id recommend putting the chair on its side for that step, as I did. And lastly, the instructions say to not fully tighten the bolts until the chair has been fully assembled. Good advice! It makes lining up the holes for inserting the bolts much easier. Once youve carefully done one chair, you can assemble the rest in no time.
Awesome chairs!
