Update to the original review , I bought two of these chairs They were extremely solid heavy and sturdy. They look great in my yard how ever after the 2nd year One of the middle chair slats broke in the middle of the slat. I moved the slat to a spot where it had support. Then a couple of days ago this happened again to another chair. I paid over $250 for each chair because I thought they would last. I inquired about getting replacement slats and was told because it has been over 5 years that they could not do anything to help. You may or may not experience this issue just wanted to others to be aware if this maybe i just got defective chairs.
