Very happy with these folding Adirondack chairs. I went for the natural instead of painted, and I’m so glad I did. The grain in the wood is beautiful. I assembled them without help. I read many reviews before buying, and was a little nervous when I saw a couple of reviews about how the pre-drilled holes in the wood didn’t line up. As with any assembly, never tighten the screws all the way, until the bulk of the project is together. I had to loosen the first chair when one of the boards was too long, thus the holes didn’t align. Just a slight loosening of the screws, and the issue corrected itself. I had no further issues and the chairs are perfect. They’ve held up great in the rain, as they have a light water repellent on them. They fold up easily for storage. Seriously great chairs. Very happy with my purchase. They’re comfortable and look amazing.

Just a few points:- The picture provided is the Merry Garden product (made in China, Merry Products), not what was delivered (made in VietNam, FDW "paylesshere.com"). When you take the parts out of the carton, it is immediately obvious they're different than those in those in the assembled photo.- The natural wood finish is a thin, sticky wax coating. Luckily, it doesn't penetrate the wood and can be sanded off allowing for a varnish finish.- The acacia wood is under dimensioned glue up planks. Acacia tends toward brittleness and the first time someone sits down heavily on this it is likely to split it.- The back assembly is several inches wider than its attachment points to the seat assembly. Rectifying this required fabricating a longer replacement front leg brace and wooden spacer washers at the four pivot points.- The assembly hardware is undersized (M6). This would be less of a problem if all the passage holes weren't drilled for M8 bolts. I just replaced all the M6s with M8s.- Don't drop any of the wood screws. There are only the exact number required (Merry provides three extras).Over the past decade similar kits have made nice house warning presents for friends when completed with a fancy finish. This one took enough time to derail that practice. In the future if it doesn't come out of the box looking like the picture, it's going back.

Real wood, packed nicely, easy assembly.Ive seen alot of reviews on them braking. Just go easy while assembling, tighten everything up when done, but don't over tighten, it could possibly crack wood. Love the chairs, they fold up, so easy to store in winter.

We bought 6 of these chairs (or should I say chair kits). I will start by saying that all 6 are now assembled and they look pretty good.The color of the wood is not an even brown or tan as pictured. Very dynamic dark to light variations. Shiny finish.. Does not look bad, but definitly not what is picture.The Kit. Thee were only two pieces of this chair that were assembled, the arms. the rest has to be assembled and came with 51 wood screws (look like dry wall sceews) 6 finish screws with nuts, 4 plastic washers (not mentioned in the instructions, 8 metal washers. The pieces are precut, drilled and finished and the instructions are fairly clear. we have 3 wood screws that we bent or smashed, but a replacement was easily available from my personal random screw box. Two of the wood pieces were incorrectly drilled (out of 6 chairs) not too bad. one was easily handled, but the other was more challenging and required me to buy a 7/8" flat head drill bit.We saved some money on these and they are comfortable. we will see if they hold up to Colorado weather.With Shipping, we were under $90/chair. If you not in to kits, you should look at spending a little more

Update: Was partially reimbursed for the one chair. Appreciate their response to the issue. 5 stars!!Original: I bought two chairs. The first one was easy to put together but the second had missing holes. I was able to slowly put screws in anyway, until one part of the wood cracked. Ugh!!! I don’t have the tools to pre-drill holes! I don’t want to disassemble, pack up and send back. So disappointed. Would’ve given 5 stars otherwise.

What a pain! For the price I can't really complain about the flimsy materials, or even that there was a lot of assembly required. But only some of the pieces were labeled, leading to a lot of guesswork. And the parts list didn't match what I got; lots of leftover bits and nothing in the instructions to offer a clue on even if they are needed.

chairs are very cheap, holes are not lined up when putting together. took so much time trying to fix what was poorly designed. afraid to sit in these as they look like they would fall apart when you sit in them. once they were finally put together it was too late to return. waste of money.
