I purchased 2 of these chairs and we love them, however they are now in need of restringing and even possibly new cloth. I have contacted 2 distributors by email & phone and even emailed lafuma themselves requesting info on where to purchase needed materials and no one has replied, making me feel these chairs are like a Bic Lighter, once they have gone throught their cycle, throw them away. I also was going to purchase 2 more of these chairs for our Florida home but I would definitely never purchase another product from this manufacture. They obviously treat you like the car salesman who wants the sale on the new car but not interested in the follow up service.
