I've read a lot of reviews before purchasing, and weighed each one carefully. Majority of the 1 star reviews seemed to be frustration on assembly. I ordered two of these chairs and received them quicker than anticipated. I had shoulder and bicep surgery on March 2 of 2021 and the chairs were delivered on March 20 of 2021. The chairs were assembled and out by the pool by the afternoon of the next day because I started them the previous night, both of them. And that's with my right arm in a sling and I'm right handed. You have to look at the directions carefully and yes, the directions are lacking but the pictures are detailed enough for assembly. All parts were labeled and matched the pictures in the assembly instructions. Some of these 1 star reviews are unwarranted as long as you have some handy skills and proper tools. All my parts were labeled correctly and all the screws and washers were in a vacuum sealed cardboard display. The chairs are very sturdy (I'm 275lbs), the cushions are comfortable and its light enough for my 6 year old to move into a better spot. Down here in the south, they've been swimming and using the chairs since I put them together in March. I liked these so much, I bought 2 more of a different style as well as the round daybed lounger style.
Patience is key and attention to detail
