COnsidering the price of these chairs (130 for 2) plus free shipping, they can't be beat with a stick. I mean top value for dollar. Take price out of the equation and they're still pretty darn good. No, they're not teak or other top end wood, but they are a nice cedar and have a pleasing deisgn. Quality was pretty good, in fact 95% on these chairs (less on the potters table I also bought). The only problem was that one drill hole didn't go all the way thru and thus when opened up by a scrediver, it ripped/splinted the wood a bit. No biggie and may even add character. Anyway, the hardware is average (brass screws and wahsers), and the wood is "combined" (not from one piece), but still the product is above average withotu price and outstanding with price.
