Customer Rating: Summary: Worth the Sale price Comment: These are really nice chairs. The seats stay dry even right after a rain. they have a nice look and are comfortable. They are worth the sale price I paid but not the price that was supposed to be the original one. Customer Rating: Summary: 6 chairs arrived perfect, a nice heavy chair Comment: We ordered 6 of these chairs and they all arrived in perfect condition in 2 days. No customer returns, broken legs, etc as stated in other reviews. These chairs have thick nice cushions and the frames have some weight to them. My only complaint is that the velcro on the chair seats are not very "sticky". I may just replace the velcro myself, because when they come unvelcro-ed the cushions can shift a little.
We purchased them at $61 for 2 plus $50 shipping and these look and feel way more expensive. I think as a dining chair they could be a little awkward to slide/shift as they are a heavier chair than the Ryer model Strathwood Ryer Collection (we have 2 of those), but we are using them in seating areas.
Overall, a good chair and a good deal for us especially with the speedy shipping. The matching Bainbridge table isn't currently available but the Ryer table Strathwood Ryer 48-Inch Round Aluminum Dining Table does complement this finish well.
We were hesitant because of a couple of the reviews, but you should not. Customer Rating: Summary: Beautiful but how they'll stand up is questionable! Comment: Over the past year I've bought three sets of these chairs along with one '2 person' bench. I love the way they look and they are sooooo comfortable but I have to agree with almost all of the other reviewers.....the front legs look like they are about to fall off, buckle under, or crack. I am very heavy so I only use the couple of chairs whose legs are straight and look sturdy since I fear the ones with legs that look crocked will break underneath me. And though I personally find them to be very comfortable, I've had many friends and relatives tell me they HATE sitting in them. I have short legs and I like to sit with my back really straight and supported so maybe the others were too tall or like slouching in chairs but these do not allow that. I especially like the 'seat' size which is nice and wide too. When I bought mine, I paid $112./pair with free shipping so todays sale of $78. is great BUT it now costs $50 for shipping of 'each' pair....not as good a deal any more. And there are no longer any companion pieces to this collection unless Amazon decides to restock their inventory so I can't buy a couple tables or benches to match any more. And I am almost afraid to order any more of these chairs for fear that I'll end up getting one of the returned damaged ones. It's a conundrum! I'd say buy this item but you'll only end up with the left overs too so I can not in all honesty tell you that. Customer Rating: Summary: 1 Great, 1 Not So Comment: I love these chairs. I bought the matching bench last year and was very pleased with that. BUT, one of the chairs was delivered with a crack in it. Rather than having to pack it up and return it, I put some glue in the crack and hoping that will prevent it from spreading. Time will tell. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Set/First set was broken Comment: The chairs and cusions look great with the strathwood table and chaise lounges and are comfortable. Our first set delivered by UPS came broken, so they had to be sent back and replaced which took about 5 weeks from start to finish, ordered on 6/23/07, delivered today 7/29/07. The new shipping company (EGL) was useing a wrong contact number and I left numerous messages to correct and got Amazon involved several times. Be sure you have a number on your profile that can reach you at anytime - like a cell phone! They did however make a trip out on a Sunday to get them to me, because I was getting totally exasperated!
