I love it. I think I did something wrong with mine though. The wood cracked on a piece when I drilled the screw in, I fixed it with wood filling, looks great, but be mindful when drilling. Picture is from before fixing it.

Absolutely Awful Deck Chair - Zero Stars I recently purchased this deck chair and it has been a complete nightmare from start to finish. First of all, the chair arrived in a flat pack with a mind-boggling 63 screws and bolts required for assembly. 63! That alone should have been a huge red flag. After hours struggling to put this monstrosity together, I discovered that many of the pre-drilled guide holes for the screws were in the wrong places. So not only were there enough screws and bolts to build a small skyscraper, half of them didn't even line up properly. It's as if this thing was designed by a sadist. To make matters even worse, the wood is so ridiculously soft that if you accidentally put a screw in the wrong place, that hole is completely ruined and unusable. And forget about trying to make a new hole nearby - the structural integrity of the entire chair becomes compromised if you don't get it exactly right the first time. I now have a half-assembled chair with stripped out holes that wobbles like a drunken sailor. In summary, this is hands down the worst deck chair I have ever had the misfortune of buying. The assembly is a convoluted mess, the materials are garbage, and the margin for error is nonexistent. Avoid this product like the plague unless you want a chair that doubles as a torture device and triples as firewood. I wouldn't wish this experience on my worst enemy.

This is an amazing deal when you get down to it. About $50 for a wooden adirondack??? Yup. How do they do it? They cut out some of the labor and pass that on to the customer in savings. Please note, you will have to assemble these chairs yourself. But if you're like me, building things is kind of fun. Let me give you some background about me so you understand where this review is coming from. I am a pediatrician. I am not very mechanical. But I found that with a little common sense, time and the right tools, this was relatively easy to assemble and fun. First, the building phase. I would highly recommend a power drill, a socket wrench with a 13mm lug, and a philips screwdriver (preferable a ratcheting screwdriver if you have one). They will give you all the hardware you need, but not tools except for a small wrench, which I never used. I would also highly recommend sorting out all the parts into groups by the letters that are stamped on the wood. Initially, it is hard to see what goes where, but after you build the first one, it makes alot of sense, and you will be putting together the remaining chairs in no time. Follow the directions the first time, and look very, very closely at them so you don't screw something in the wrong way. The slats have conveniently predrilled holes and the base pieces have small holes that serve as guides. I found that sometimes things didn't line up quite right, but no worries, everything assembled just fine. One minor complaint I have is that the where the guiding holes are on the armrests don't allow for a graceful folding of the chairs, so after the first one, I bolted the armrests in a position of my choosing which worked out just fine. The first chair took me about 2h to build. The second chair took me an hour, and the last 2 took about 30min each. Don't be intimidated by having to put this together. These guys took most of the guess work out making it easy for you. The end product is I have 4 beautiful chairs, they are sturdy when I sit on them, and they fold beautifully. They are not the heaviest adirondacks I've seen, but they have a good weight behind them. A young adolescent could lift, but a smaller child might not be able to. When they fold, they are still rather big, but it is a nice feature if you want to move them around. Bottom line, these are nice looking chairs, high quality, and the price is hard to beat. If you are willing to do the work of assembling them, and have the proper tools, I highly recommend these chairs. I would warn anyone that thinks they can do this without a drill to think twice. They provide self driving wood screws and you can drive them in with a screwdriver, but there are probably 50 or so screws per chair... your arm will get tired! Buy this chair, and feel good about the price! Update 6/12/16: still pretty happy with the chairs, but have noted they are not quite as sturdy after a few parties. I'm a slender, shorter fellow so these chairs are perfect for me, however my friends are a little bigger than average and I've noted these chairs may not hold up with heavy use. For the price, I'm still happy, but in the future I might shell out extra money for more durable and sturdier chairs.

I was very anxious to write a review on this chair after the build and a couple of days use. I have to say that this chair is an excellent value, and it was fun to assemble. It looks good as an outdoor chair and is reasonably comfortable to sit in. Overall, I am very pleased with the chair, and have to say they could easily be sold for $100.00+. I would have no problem dropping $100.00 on this chair. The unfinished wood is OK and well prepared with no splinters or any features that could injure the builder. The wood is not clear, which is to be expected for the price. I loathe the aluminum screws provided, but again, the price dictates these kinds of components. Had I known it would turn out great, I would have invested a few extra dollars for stainless-steel fasteners. They will do the job, but you risk decapitating the screws in too much torque is applied. There is absolutely no need to crank any of the screws - IF everything is lined up before tightening any screws. More about that... The instructions could not be easier to follow. They did leave out a very important piece of information that could easily make the difference between success and failure: >>>>> Don't tighten the screws until the assembly has been completed. For example, the back of the chair has a lot of screws, so you would keep each screw loose until you can line up the base of the back to keep it perpendicular with the center of the upright back. Not doing this will result with a lot of explatives bandied about, and frustration. Keep everything somewhat loose until the chair is complete and correct. Then tighten all screws in one pass so none are missed. When done this way, the chair will be ultra-sturdy. Guaranteed. Small pilot holes are provided to start the screws, lining them up can be a challenge, but when the screws are loose, it's a piece of cake. If you are not a DYI person, I would find something else. I spent a total of three hours, one hour per day after work. You don't need tools. You don't need a drill for the screws, but I am a glutton for a good screw session. All you need is a good Phillip's Head, approprietly sized to the cross on the screw head. Keep it on-axis with the screw and you will have no problem. Tried and true. Assembly of the chair was extremely therapeutic and rewarding. Is the haze of the mayhem going on in the world, a constructive distraction is a very welcome event - it's just not possible to put a monetary value on that experience. *** In honesty, I wish it were more challenging. Maybe the nicest purchase I have made all year, and I have made a few.

We bought two chairs because they fold up and are easily moved and stored. It is NOT the size of traditional Adirondack chairs, and does not pretend to be. It is much smaller. Assembly is fairly straightforward if you've assembled furniture and other similar items before. It is somewhat tedious, though, since NOTHING is pre-assembled. I very seriously recommend using a battery-powered drill/driver for much of the assembly both to finish pre-drilling some of the unfinished pre-drilled holes and to screw the scores of screws into the wood. It took us (2 people) around 40 minutes to completely assemble each chair. It wouldn't take that long if I weren't so obsessive. The wood quality is adequate, at best. Some pieces have small"ish" areas that are filled with wood putty. The wood really should be more finely sanded before assembly; something I wished we'd done. It won't last long in the elements, so a coat or two of verathane (brushed or sprayed on) after sanding it down might help. The chair is wiggly and creaks unless you really tighten all of its hardware. But doing that makes folding the chair more difficult or impossible. I wouldn't make this purchase again. It'd make more sense to invest more money initially to have chairs that are better quality, better built, sturdier, and ready for the sun and rain.
