I actually researched this chair last summer for possible purchase. Due to some negative reviews at that time, I passed. I revisited them this year due to the style and design and I thought I wanted some rockers. Finally broke down and ordered two when I couldn't find a design even close to what I wanted made out of metal. Wood seems to deteriorate very quickly here, and don't even get me started with plastics, etc. They arrived on time and the price was fair from this vendor. I checked as many prices as I could find for the same chair all over the internet. The boxes were somewhat beat up upon arrival, but the contents were okay except for a small dent on the arm of one side. After inspection, I thought the welding could be less sloppy. I think the coppery color is gorgeous and looks like it will hold up for a long time. Putting the first two pieces together by myself was awkward, but waking my napping husband to help me wasn't an option. Don't waken the bear! After the first two pieces were together, the rest was a breeze. Alerted by a couple of reviews where the pieces were connected incorrectly, I paid careful attention to the picture during assembly.To my delight, the chairs are more lovely in person than the photo and are quite sturdy. I did not find my bony rear to be comfortable without a cushion of the seat. Luckily, for me it is comfortable without a back cushion, so I can appreciate the sun ray design. Overall, I am quite pleased with the purchase and highly recommend them.
