JYSK BAŠTENSKA STOLICA GUDHJEM NATUR

Pros

• Comfort: Commonly mentioned as comfortable and easy to sit in. Multiple reviews describe them as comfortable for eating at a table. One review suggests that added cushions might improve comfort for some users. Another review mentions that they are comfortable even for heavier individuals. Reviewers frequently mention the chairs are comfortable for sitting and relaxing. The high backrest is also praised for comfort. Many reviewers describe the sitting comfort as "heerlijk" (delicious/delightful).
• Lightweight and Stackable: Frequently praised for being lightweight and easy to stack, making them convenient for storage. This is a key selling point, repeatedly highlighted in reviews.
• Aesthetically Pleasing: Described as beautiful, elegant, stylish, with good design, and a nice natural look. Many reviewers appreciate the appearance of the chairs. The color is often praised, although some received a slightly different shade than pictured (sometimes considered preferable). The chairs are described as suitable for use with a matching table. The beige color is specifically mentioned as a welcome alternative to more common darker options.
• Good Value: Many reviews highlight good quality for the price (€25 mentioned in one review). Several explicitly mention "really good value," "good value," or "prima prijs/kwaliteit verhouding" (good price/quality ratio). The chairs are described as offering excellent value for money.
• Durable (for some): Some users report having the chairs for many years (up to 10 years) with minimal wear, even with outdoor winter storage. Several users mentioned the chairs are "very strong" and "will last for years." One user specifically notes using the chairs for three years outdoors without significant deterioration. The chairs are described as suitable for outdoor use. Many describe them as sturdy.

Cons

• Durability Issues (Very Common): A very significant number of negative reviews cite poor durability, with the material (techno rattan/synthetic rattan) cracking or breaking after 2-3 years, even with indoor winter storage. This cracking frequently occurs in both the backrest and seat. Sunlight exposure significantly exacerbates the problem; chairs stored outdoors show much faster deterioration. Many report the chairs lasting only one to three seasons regardless of storage. Several reviewers note that the rattan weaves break apart. Multiple reviewers experienced defects upon arrival, with some reporting cracks within a week of use. One review mentions the weave is not very strong. Many report the chairs breaking or cracking after minimal use, particularly when stored outdoors.

Comments

The substantial discrepancy between positive reviews emphasizing long-term durability and overwhelmingly negative reviews reporting premature failure highlights a significant variation in product quality or material lifespan. This inconsistency is a major concern. Some users noted that the actual color received might differ from the picture, although this difference was sometimes considered preferable. One review notes that the chairs are uncomfortable without a cushion and another suggests that the chairs might be too high for individuals with shorter legs. The chairs are described as suitable for outdoor use, although outdoor storage dramatically impacts lifespan. Several reviewers explicitly highlight the chairs'' suitability for heavier users. The chairs are frequently purchased as part of a set. One review mentions receiving a different color than ordered. The chairs are described as suitable for people with longer legs. Several reviewers mention purchasing the chairs on sale or at a discounted price. Some reviewers mention using the chairs for outdoor dining.
