These are great chairs for the money, they are not polywood but they are decent and look like they will last a good number of years. I bought two and had no problems putting them together, took about 20 minutes for both. for the bad reviews about the bolts stripping or cross threading, a little hint, start the screws by hand about 5 turns and then use the screwdriver to finish.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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,

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.

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.

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.

Okay, so this is not going to match what you get if you pay $200 a chair, but it is an excellent product for at this price point. Since it is new, can't speak to durability, but for looks, construction and ease in assembly, haven't seen anything come close. In that regard, saw a couple of reviews about problems assembling, but as someone who has put together dozens if not a hundred or more Chinese products, this has the best assembly scheme I have seen. It uses a bolt and nut combination that allows user alignment if pre-drilled holes in legs and arms if pre-drilled holes are slightly off from the factory. Cannot see how someone would have run into trouble assembling these.
