Comments

The reviews reveal a significant disparity in reported product quality. While numerous reviewers praise the chair''s comfort, sturdiness, and value, others report considerable durability issues, suggesting inconsistencies in manufacturing or variations between different chair models. The reported problems seem more frequent with black powder-coated versions. The price disparity noted in some reviews highlights potential discrepancies in retail pricing. The significant number of one-star reviews indicating severe defects, even upon purchasing the chairs in person, highlights serious quality control problems. Further information regarding specific models (e.g., fabric vs. faux leather, or with/without powder coating) is needed to fully understand the source of these inconsistencies. One review suggests that adding a cushion improves comfort. The difficulty in pulling the chair close to a table due to the front crossbar is a notable design flaw. Several reviewers mention purchasing multiple chairs due to their satisfaction with the product. One review mentions that the chairs look good and seem durable, but the true test will be next summer. The loose protective plastic caps are a recurring issue. Many reviewers mention using the chair both indoors and outdoors. Several reviews highlight the ease of cleaning.
