Best Choice Products Folding Adirondack Chair Outdoor Wooden Accent Furniture Fire Pit Lounge Chairs for Yard, Garden, Patio w/ 350lb Weight Capacity - Natural

These chairs are solid wood, they look great, they are comfortable and so much more attractively priced than other adirondak chairs. Warning: they come in a lot of pieces that must be assembled. And they are foldable, which is nice but, they have a tendency to creak and squeak, so I added some screws here and there to tighten them up cause we don't ever fold them. I also gave them a couple coats of teak oil for additional weather protection. Bought 2 a few years ago, just bought 2 more. Love 'em!

This is an amazing deal when you get down to it. About $50 for a wooden adirondack??? Yup. How do they do it? They cut out some of the labor and pass that on to the customer in savings. Please note, you will have to assemble these chairs yourself. But if you're like me, building things is kind of fun. Let me give you some background about me so you understand where this review is coming from. I am a pediatrician. I am not very mechanical. But I found that with a little common sense, time and the right tools, this was relatively easy to assemble and fun. First, the building phase. I would highly recommend a power drill, a socket wrench with a 13mm lug, and a philips screwdriver (preferable a ratcheting screwdriver if you have one). They will give you all the hardware you need, but not tools except for a small wrench, which I never used. I would also highly recommend sorting out all the parts into groups by the letters that are stamped on the wood. Initially, it is hard to see what goes where, but after you build the first one, it makes alot of sense, and you will be putting together the remaining chairs in no time. Follow the directions the first time, and look very, very closely at them so you don't screw something in the wrong way. The slats have conveniently predrilled holes and the base pieces have small holes that serve as guides. I found that sometimes things didn't line up quite right, but no worries, everything assembled just fine. One minor complaint I have is that the where the guiding holes are on the armrests don't allow for a graceful folding of the chairs, so after the first one, I bolted the armrests in a position of my choosing which worked out just fine. The first chair took me about 2h to build. The second chair took me an hour, and the last 2 took about 30min each. Don't be intimidated by having to put this together. These guys took most of the guess work out making it easy for you. The end product is I have 4 beautiful chairs, they are sturdy when I sit on them, and they fold beautifully. They are not the heaviest adirondacks I've seen, but they have a good weight behind them. A young adolescent could lift, but a smaller child might not be able to. When they fold, they are still rather big, but it is a nice feature if you want to move them around. Bottom line, these are nice looking chairs, high quality, and the price is hard to beat. If you are willing to do the work of assembling them, and have the proper tools, I highly recommend these chairs. I would warn anyone that thinks they can do this without a drill to think twice. They provide self driving wood screws and you can drive them in with a screwdriver, but there are probably 50 or so screws per chair... your arm will get tired! Buy this chair, and feel good about the price! Update 6/12/16: still pretty happy with the chairs, but have noted they are not quite as sturdy after a few parties. I'm a slender, shorter fellow so these chairs are perfect for me, however my friends are a little bigger than average and I've noted these chairs may not hold up with heavy use. For the price, I'm still happy, but in the future I might shell out extra money for more durable and sturdier chairs.

Let's just say, you get what you pay for. As an adirondack chair usually runs close to $200 each, what can you expect for something that cost $50. Putting it together took some time, but all in all it was fine with a drill. It took me about an hour to put one together (i was using a screwdriver to start), it took my boyfriend 3 seconds to sit on it and break it. The wood has a lot of knots, weak spots, we moved the plank to the front and hoped for the best. I haven't put the second chair together yet. I am trying to see if I can get replacement boards to replace the broken one, and as back up. If they allow that, i'll keep them, mostly because I have no desire to take it apart. They are definitely small but are the perfect size for a balcony in a condo or apt. Update: I contacted the manufacturer to get a replacement board. They did more than expected, after sending them some photos of the cracked board, they sent me two brand new chairs. No need to return my originals. So I still have the originals set up and use them daily, the cracked board is still holding up (for now), and I have two more as back up. I have zero complaints about these chairs. They look great and I love my little wine drinking space.

I bought two of these. I won't lie, I thought it came assembled after seeing a promo on Brad's Deals, saw the pics, and bought it. Needless to see, you get a lot of wood and nails. The wood is unvarnished. So if you're going to leave this outside or take it to a park and get caught in the rain, this won't last long. I do have a drill. The moment I started using it, little bits of wood chipped off. So I went old school with manual screwdriver. With that said, going old school can take anywhere from 2-3 hours ( maybe more? i took a beer break). The best way to look at it - I think there are 5 or 6 steps...do one or two steps a day before bedtime during the winter. I do think a cushion (not included) is useful not to make it soft, but give you a lift, otherwise it feels like you're sinking. So far it has been sturdy (i'm under 200 pounds). It does fold up, but I don't see myself taking these in the trunk of my car : it will take up space and has some weight to it (remember, i bought 2) I finished one, i'll start another. When it's done. I'll wait for the weather to warm up before I varnish the damn thing outside my balcony where it will stay. If you like projects, buy it. I may love this thing in the summer and when a get nice cushion. I'll update the rating if i do!

I purchased two of these chairs in May of 2021. I read several of the reviews before purchasing as I didn't want something that wasn't going to last and wanted to be sure they had been tried out by others. When we received the chairs I LOVED how they looked and they were pretty simple to put together. They are quite light in weight compared to other Adirondacks that I have purchased so I knew they were not something that would last for 10 years but I definitely expected to get more time out of them. We had these chairs for around 6 months when we noticed them getting increasingly loose when sitting in them and the color began to fade rapidly. They were so shaky that my husband added addition screws on the legs to the seats to make them more secure. It helped, but not for long. After about 8 months of having these they were basically garbage. They are so faded, the wood is cracking and splintering all over and they are so weak the legs are bending in and the chair could collapse at any time. These are outdoor chairs and did not hold up as outdoor furniture should. We even had them on our covered deck for a portion of the time so they were not exposed fully to the weather. The only reason I gave 2 stars rather than 1 is because I did absolutely love them when they were new. super disappointed they didn't last
