Comments

The significant disparity between positive comments on comfort, initial sturdiness, and value and the numerous reports of widespread and significant durability problems remains striking. The plastic components and woven parts are particularly problematic. The longevity of the product is highly questionable due to these prevalent issues. Buyers should be aware of the substantial risk of cracking or breakage in the plastic and woven parts, even with careful use and storage. The chairs are not suitable for long-term outdoor use without significant deterioration. The reported musty smell and the potential for wobbling are additional concerns. The availability of replacement parts is unclear, with one reviewer successfully replacing a damaged chair. While many report satisfaction, the high frequency of durability issues highlights a major design flaw. The frequent reports of breakage after relatively short periods of use raise significant safety concerns. The multiple reports of strong, persistent smells further detract from the overall positive user experience reported by some. One reviewer felt cheated due to a price drop a day after purchase. The high percentage of chairs with uneven legs causing wobbling points to a significant manufacturing defect. The reported ease of cleaning is a positive aspect. Several reviewers experienced issues with damaged chairs upon arrival. One reviewer noted that despite the initial issues, replacement chairs arrived efficiently through the return process. The high number of chairs requiring replacement due to manufacturing defects is a major concern. A significant number of reviewers mention issues with their orders, indicating potential problems in the manufacturing process and order fulfillment. The need for cushions is frequently mentioned. Many reviewers purchased cushions for increased comfort. Many reviewers note the chairs are easy to find cushions for. The chairs are described as practical and weather-resistant.
