It's a heavy plastic/wood. Took a few minutes to understand the assembly instructions, but I bought 2 of them so after the 1st one I was able to figure out the other one. I'm 5'10" so it's a little lower than a standard chair but I am getting use to sitting on it. The top of the cousin probably will hit the top of your calves. The chair weighs about 30-40lbs, kind of heavy, but I plan on keep the chairs outside year round. Hope this helps! Good buy!

Love this chair. I bought it to match two other matching pieces for my small deck. It was a little tricky to put together, but the end result was worth it. It’s very comfortable as well. I would purchase again.

Great product heavy and it looks expensive.

The construction of the chair is great. It is heavy duty. The manual is clean and concise. Easy to assemble. The button cushion and very durable and comfortable. The back cushion is not the best. I ended up stuffing the back cushion with a 1” cushion to make it work for us.

Comfortable set, good quality, looks great. Modular design means maximum flexibility with changing arrangement or if you need to move.
