JYSK BAŠTENSKA STOLICA GUDHJEM SIVA

Pros

• Comfortable: Commonly mentioned as comfortable, even without cushions, though some find them uncomfortable without cushions. The synthetic weave yields slightly, adding to comfort. High backrests are also praised. The front edge of the seat is designed to prevent it from digging into legs.
• Stylish and practical: Described as stylish and practical, suitable for both indoor and outdoor use (though outdoor use requires protection from the elements). Frequently praised as attractive.
• Lightweight and easy to move: Reviewers appreciated the lightweight design, making them easy to move and stack. Stacking ability is frequently highlighted as a positive feature.
• Good value for money: Frequently praised for their affordability; some reviewers considered them a bargain or offering excellent value for the price. Prices mentioned ranged from approximately €24 to approximately €30 (depending on sales).
• Sturdy and well-made (some reviewers): Several reviewers described the chairs as sturdy and well-made, though this contradicts other reviews reporting poor durability.

Cons

• Poor durability: This is the most significant recurring negative point. Many reviewers reported the chairs breaking or falling apart within 1-3 years of use, even when stored indoors or covered during winter. The plastic weave or rattan frequently splits or deteriorates. Rusting at the armrest joints and uneven legs leading to wobbling were also reported. The material is described as not being UV-resistant or winter-resistant. Significant deterioration was reported even with limited use. The warranty period often expires before significant problems manifest.
• Uncomfortable without cushions: While many found them comfortable, several noted they are uncomfortable without additional cushioning.
• Narrow seat: Some reviewers mentioned the seat is too narrow.
• Weight limit: A weight limit of 110 kg was mentioned.
• Susceptible to damage from moisture: Reviews indicate the chairs are vulnerable to damage from water or rain, leading to deterioration and rust.
• Color Discrepancy: At least one reviewer reported a significant color difference between the online image and the actual product, describing the real color as much lighter.

Comments

The reviews highlight a significant discrepancy between the perceived initial quality and the actual longevity of these chairs. While many praise their comfort, style, affordability, ease of stacking, and perceived sturdiness, a substantial number of reviewers report significant durability issues. The chairs are unsuitable for long-term outdoor use without adequate protection from the elements, with the material deteriorating within a few years, even under covered conditions. This suggests the material used may not be adequately weather-resistant despite being marketed for outdoor use. The frequent reports of breakage and deterioration within a short timeframe, even with indoor storage, point to a significant flaw in the material''s durability. Reviewers noted the need to inspect chairs for wobbly legs before purchase. Several reviewers reported that the warranty period expired before significant deterioration became evident. The discrepancy between positive and negative reviews suggests a possible batch variation in quality or a problem with the product''s material''s resistance to UV light and moisture. One reviewer noted that the seat could be deeper and that with a cushion, the chair becomes very straight in the back.
