Strathwood Bradford All-Weather Hardwood Bar Chair, Set of 2

Comment: I was very happy with these bar stools. Great quality, easy to put together and came in a few days. Couldn't be happier.

Comment: Just got 4 of these bad boys. These patio chairs look great against my granite top 36" wide/41" tall round patio table. The finish is respectable and they're quite sturdy (if you install them right, see below for more). Great buy for the price.. at less than $60 each, I was not able to find anything better at this price point!

Packaging: I found a few dings here and there but nothing unacceptable. The largest scratch was a 1.5cm long, half a cm wide edge piece scraped off of the seat on one chair. nothing you can see unless you examine it - especially a non-issue if you throw seat cushions over them.

Assembling: It took me the first chair to experiment to figure out the best way to assembly these chairs. The parts are assembled with tougue and groove joinery with wood stubs that hold the pieces together. To achieve the most durable and sturdy construct, I applied a handsome amound of glue to each joint. Since some wood stubs could be too tight or too big to fit through the predrilled holes, I used a drill with drill bit exactly the size of the predrilled holes to ensure a perfect, tight and flush fit.

Results: These chairs do not look cheap and they are sturdy if put together right. I cannot speak to the durability as I just got them but the finish looks great with beautiful grain and color variation. The wood is quite soft though so the finish can scratch easily against abrasive surface. They are ergonomically sound as well - I cannot be more happy with this purchse. These chairs completed by patio!

Comment: We bought this table and chairs to sit on our deck and enjoy the view onto the lake. It is sturdy and well made. It required some assembly with some wooden pegs requiring a rubber or wooden mallet to keep from marring the material. All tools were otherwise provided with the furniture. The wood has resisted the weather so far, including some heavy thunderstorms. I am pleased with this purchase. A great place for our morning coffee on a spring day.

Comment: The chairs are not very well made. At least two of the slats in one chair are not connected at the front, and the wooden pins that must be hammered in to assemble the chairs are poorly fitted to the holes. Or, the holes are not drilled correctly for the pins. Either way, the pins flattened out while being installed, and just look bad.

Comment: Best value for the $ spent. Chairs & table were easy to assemble. We use this set on our deck and the chairs seat you up high enough that you can look straight out and see the view, unlike other chairs that are so low that you only see the deck railing.
