Cons

• Poor Quality/Durability: This is the most significant recurring negative. Many reviewers reported significant deterioration after one to three years, even with indoor winter storage. Common failures include cracking, splitting, breaking of the frame/polyrattan, and loosening or detachment of woven material. Several reviewers mentioned deterioration after a single summer. Weaving frequently reported as coming apart or falling apart. Welds breaking is also reported. One review stated that even a single wet glass left a permanent mark on the accompanying table. Multiple reviewers reported needing replacements after the original chairs failed. Many reported significant defects even immediately after purchase. Eight chairs reported significant deterioration after two years of indoor storage.
• Weather Resistance Issues: The material is not sufficiently weather-resistant for outdoor use, especially in direct sunlight. Significant deterioration reported even with some protection.
• Unpleasant Odor: One review mentioned a strong, unpleasant odor from the material; another mentioned an oil-like smell.
• Rough Armrests: One review noted that the armrests felt a little rough.
• Inconsistent Coloring: One review reported receiving two chairs of different colors.
• Uneven Legs: One review reported that the legs were uneven, causing the chair to not sit level.

Comments

The overwhelming majority of negative reviews focus on the poor quality and durability, regardless of storage conditions or sun exposure. While some users reported satisfaction, particularly those who used the chairs for shorter periods or stored them carefully, the preponderance of evidence suggests significant quality control issues affecting long-term usability. Reported lifespan varies widely, from a single summer to three years, with many reporting issues after just a few months. The material''s susceptibility to sun damage, even with partial protection, is a notable concern. The frequency of replacement purchases due to breakage is noteworthy. The high frequency of significant defects upon delivery suggests a serious quality control problem at the manufacturing stage. The relatively low price (€40 mentioned in one review) may contribute to expectations of shorter lifespan, though this doesn''t excuse the reported quality issues. Several reviewers mentioned needing to purchase replacements, indicating a significant number of failures. The fact that some users report satisfactory use suggests that there may be inconsistencies in manufacturing quality.
