Lets just say, you get what you pay for. As an adirondack chair usually runs close to 200 each, what can you expect for something that cost 50. Putting it together took some time, but all in all it was fine with a drill. It took me about an hour to put one together (i was using a screwdriver to start), it took my boyfriend 3 seconds to sit on it and break it. The wood has a lot of knots, weak spots, we moved the plank to the front and hoped for the best. I havent put the second chair together yet. I am trying to see if I can get replacement boards to replace the broken one, and as back up. If they allow that, ill keep them, mostly because I have no desire to take it apart. They are definitely small but are the perfect size for a balcony in a condo or apt.
Update: I contacted the manufacturer to get a replacement board. They did more than expected, after sending them some photos of the cracked board, they sent me two brand new chairs. No need to return my originals. So I still have the originals set up and use them daily, the cracked board is still holding up (for now), and I have two more as back up. I have zero complaints about these chairs. They look great and I love my little wine drinking space.
