This is a beautiful chair, wonderfully made and easy to assemble. I would wholeheartedly recommend it, with one proviso:
it really is intended for dining, i.e., sitting up straight at the table. The chair is fairly shallow, so if you want a chair that you can sit back and relax in, this probably is not the one for you. Even for someone 5'2" tall, the chair is not deep enough to really kick back over conversation and drinks. If you have lounge chairs for your idle evenings, these will be great for you, otherwise you might look for a deeper chair.

I thought two of these Teak wood chairs would be enough. I was mistaken. They are just right for Papa Bear, Mama Bear, and Baby Bear. Another one lets your unexpected guest have their own to relax in and enjoy the garden. This gracious design goes with my other wooden outdoor furniture and I am delighted. Friends admire them and I have the satisfaction of owning these low-maintenace, highly durable outdoor garden chairs. A bit expensive but they will last a lifetime and are well worth the investment!

I did a lot of shopping around before purchasing these chairs and I am confident I gottten one of the best deals on teak furniture out there. The wood is beautiful, no nicks or marks anywhere. I did have a little problem putting the chair bottom together. I needed an electric drill as I could not use sweat equity to screw it in. Other than that, the chairs are very easy to put together, even for the hardware challenged (had no mallot so I had to improvise).

I only gave it four stars because, as noted by other reviewers, this chair sits very straight. A slight arch in the design would have been benefitical. They chair is also very wide so no one should complain about being squeezed in. It will be interesting as I shop for cushions to fit this chair. I might be forced to by direct from the manufacturer. Overall, I am happy with the chairs and anxiously await my table.
