I bet you the people writing bad reviews didn’t have the metal anchors properly seated. Especially on the arms, they tend to fall out of place. Most of the bad reviews mention breakage where the chair back connects to the arms. If that happens, you’re screwing metal into plastic and it’s going to break. I used a small piece of tape to keep the metal anchor in place while I attached the arms. I verified that it’s correctly anchored. We’ll see if there’s any breakage, but I think that solved it. To the manufacturer, some of the metal anchors slot into place, and especially with some force, line up correctly. But you’re going to keep getting returns especially because the arm anchor in the back doesn’t stay in place as you flip it over.

These are absolute garbage. First, they are a very cheap plastic. That would be okay given the price. The real issue is assembly. They are a simple concept to assemble, but the hardware is so cheap that the screws go in part way, then strip. No way to remove the screw, no way to get it all the way in. Cutting the head off doesn’t help because of how the backing nut is inserted. So you are basically out of luck, unless you tap all of the backing nuts ahead of assembly.

I was a little apprehensive about this from the negative assembly reviews, but I am pleased with the product. Getting the backing nuts to line up perfectly with the holes is critical for the proper assembly. I could see how someone could cross- thread the screws if not careful. You can use a slightly narrower Philips head screwdriver to line up the backing nuts through the screw holes, and then the threads align properly.

This chair was so easy to put together. It’s so relaxing to sit in whether you’re reading, sitting around a campfire or enjoying what’s around you. Cup holder is a nice addition and it will hold a large water bottle. I like that this chair weighs lighter than a true Adirondack chair made with wood because I can move it around without needing help even though it’s easier with two people. So happy I made the purchase.

We purchased 4 chairs for the backyard. 3 were great, assembly was smooth, and they feel sturdy and durable. A 4th chair, and ultimately a 5th chair replacement gave us the blues. The holes would not line up for the legs, so we could never get the screws all the way in. We finally got a 2nd replacement and the screws finally went in. Other than the slight issue with the screw holes, the chairs seem to be good.

Have had 2 chairs 3 years at the most and within 1st year they cracked in the seat area both. We have tried to baby them along but it they are now to the point of not being usable. So sad, we had high hopes for these chairs, we thought we would get more than a couple seasons out of them bit they are heading to the trash.

stainless hardware, easy assembly, nice looking but I think some of the threaded inserts weren't threaded right. tried to make sure I didn't cross thread any of them but two did anyway, and when that happens in these your in trouble. can't back it out cause the stainless screws are too soft. I would recommend these but run the screws through each threaded insert B4 trying to assemble,

I was concerned about the poor reviews based off assembly issues, but I had no issues at all. If you make sure and seat the nuts properly, the bolts amazingly lined up and went in easily, go figure! Who knows if people got bad hardware, or if they just shouldn’t be trusted with simple tasks… Bottom line, if you can use a screw driver and follow simple instructions, you shouldn’t have any trouble. I would buy again.

A picture on this websites dropdown shows this chair folded in half for storage....They DO NOT FOLD!!! Happy with the chair but unless someone reads all the questions previously asked (which I did not do) it is deceiving to a buyer. The fact that it showed this chair folded was one of the reasons I chose it. Sam's needs to remove that picture from their website.

We bought two of these to replace some cheaper ones we had purchased at the Depot last year. After reading some of these reviews, I was a little concerned about the quality and assembly of them. HOWEVER, ours were easy to assemble and look great! I would note that one box did not come with instructions; maybe the cause of some problems others have had?? IDK but IMO, these are very good quality for this price point. Will defintely be buying more for the back patio!
