Nice, heavy teak chair, well made and substantial. Comfortable. And you couldn't buy the wood for this price, let alone the nice brass fittings. Unfinished, so you can either finish it ( I used a satin finish tung oil rather than a marine teak oil) or let it weather to that nice teak grey. There are a few drawbacks: a glue joint may have come loose in shipping (Gorilla Grip or similar urethane glue works well) and the smaller screws are brass plated steel (replace with solid brass from your local hardware store - cost about a buck and take all of fifteen minutes) but you can't beat the price. Put it this way, I ordered another one.....

I didn't expect the level of quality for the price of this piece. The wood is smooth, well-sanded, substantial. The construction appears to be excellent. I agree with the earlier reviewer that replacing the brass-plated screws with solid brass is a good and inexpensive idea. All in all, an exceptional buy.

Great chair! It came already assembled and I just took it out of the box, oila. The only issue I saw was some corrosion on some of the hardware, but an amazing chair for the price!

Very satisfactory product. Wood is heavy and joints are mortise and tenon, with wood pegs. Brass hardware is substantial; only modification I did was replace the 28 steel screws with brass, cost was $2 plus my time. Chair came unfinished, but took a coat of oil very evenly-looks great! Would recommend it without reservation.

I bought two of these chairs and was very happy with the quality. Teak steamer chairs are generally priced at over $600. I ordered another one of these today. The reviewer who said you could get the same thing at Costco is mistaken. The Costco steamer is not made of teak - therefore not the same thing at all. The reason these chairs are such a deal is that they are crafted of teak, which as many of us know, is the finest wood available for outdoor furniture. Buy the Costco chair if you want, I am sure it's very nice, but be prepared for weatherizing it every year. It will not deal with the elements as well as the teak crafted steamer.

We bought two of these deck chairs and they look fantastic on the lanai. I feel like I'm on the deck of the Titanic when I lounge in mine. (get a cushion for it, and you'll be more comfortable)

I use Danish teak oil to preserve the wood. Every so often, I apply it with a rag, rub it in and let the wood soak it up. Not really much bother and keeps it looking good.
