Bought them to use with a new teak table to make additional seatings for our family during thanksgiving and to be used outdoor when summer arrives. Everyone loved them! Smooth surface, great color, sturdy 👍😊.

UPDATE 10-9-18: A year and a half later and still using these chairs a couple times a month! No issues and no breaks! They are as good as the day we bought them!
Excellent chairs and fold up very thin. I’m 250lbs and feel comfortable sitting in them and moving around. I will order more if I need them. The packaging shows this company really takes pride in their products. Look how each is individually wrapped in plastic and even extra cardboard where the strap keeps it closed to prevent damage. They also have grips on the ends of each chair to protect the chairs and floors. As far as I can see so far no issues except the giant sticker you can’t take off the bottom of the seat. Going to add some cushions to make these really comfortable.

The chairs are ok. The finish could be better. My major problem with these chairs, is attached to the bottom of EVERY chair are warning/safety instructions that have been entirely glued to the full length of one of the slats. Also the paper it slightly wider than the slat so it’s visible from the top of the seat if not removed. I tried to remove it and it came off in pieces. I will have to get adhesive remover to get it off. It’s completely unnecessary. A paper in the box would have been sufficient.

Great sturdy white chairs for the value and I love that it can be folded and stored when not in use. It’s strong this photo was taken after a harsh storm!

These chairs look nice but when we unfolded them for the first time and sat on them they are very wiggly. I do not think they will last very long.

Most of the reviews I read before purchasing, good or bad, turn out to be true. The chairs look nice. They are wobbly side-to-side. They are easy to unfold, neatly fold and store. The long sticker on the bottom is awful to remove. The price is very reasonable. The chairs are smaller than you probably expect.
For the shoppers who are interested in potential problems, I’ll explain my concerns. The wooden parts are solid, but the points of connection between the seat and sides are few, hence the wobbling. I saw a little improvement after using a hex key tool and pliers to tighten the screws on the side of the seat and a Phillips screwdriver to tighten the screws toward the back of the seat. I would probably need to add hardware to really stabilize it. Therefore, I would not offer the chair to a heavy adult (take that weight limit seriously), a wide adult, an elderly adult with balance issues, or a very animated adult or tween (imagining family members shouting over a football game… nope, not for them). I can sit on the chairs because I know what’s what, as could my petite mother and friends. The minimalist design of the chair made me think they would sit well, but the design will be uncomfortable for a lot of people. The seat is short, and the edge hits near the middle of my thighs, which feels weird. The back is angled in such a way that if I’m sitting up straight only the lower rail touches my back, which also feels weird. I have to scoot toward the end of the seat and sort of recline in the chair for both rails to make contact with my back. I could see that being a problem for those with back pain, so I would hesitate to offer it to them.
The reason I am hanging on to these is to avoid the bigger, heavier, dull metal folding chairs. Many of us keepers are counting on sitting in these wooden chairs for only a couple hours max a few times a year and are determined to make it work. At least the chairs will look good.

I don’t know if the previous reviews were paid or what, but they certainly do not describe the chairs I got.
My daughter, who about 100 pounds sat on one of the chairs and grabbed onto the table for support because the chair felt so flimsy. Rocked from side to side while sat in it (for like 30 seconds before she got up) and the legs splayed significantly front to back when she was sitting on it. The parts all seen to fit together extremely loosely, and the pins that slide to lock the chair in a seated position barely catch the wood. If the chairs loosen up (which they will considering that they are so flimsy) the pins will eventually fail to catch at the end of the slot, and you’ll end up folded up in the chair on the ground. I thought maybe the screws weren’t tight or something, but they are. They are just shockingly poorly made.
They do LOOK nice, but other than decoration they seem completely useless. I am returning these AS THEY DO NOT SEEM SAFE FOR ANYONE TO SIT ON.

they were supposed to be for my regular table, but I will just use them as extras as they are small and uncomfortable for long term use.

J’avais commandé une table pour patio ainsi que ces chaises, toutefois lorsque ouvert la boite fin avril découvre que ces chaises sont pour intérieur, seulement. Les chaises ont été commandées en février et garder au garage, en attendant d’ouvrir la boîte pour le printemps. Que faire

Nice looking convenience chairs, feel solid, no wobbles, they have plastic floor protectors. Wouldn’t be comfortable for over 6′ and/or the 215 lb limit, and we’ll see how they hold up over time.

These have done us proud as desk chairs for the children and occasional extra chairs for dinner guests. They’re a good height for both jobs, fold away nice and easily, are light to carry about the house and are sturdy unless you decide to try and stand on them, which tbh is a daft decision anyway. They look quite nice, as folding chairs go – they certainly don’t look cheap, and there are no splinters or rough edges to worry about. Good value for money.

They look great, fold away easily. I added cushions from Ikea and they are comfortable that way. Without cushions they are a bit too firm.

I was very happy with these chairs because they arrived very quickly and match my existing table and chairs. The color was as expected based on my computer monitor. They were very well packaged, and are very compact for storing. I appreciated how narrow they are; not too narrow for anyone in my family to sit in yet fit between the chairs I have so all can still tuck underneath the table. They aren’t the most comfortable chairs in the world, but if you’ve ever sat in this style chair before you’ll have no surprises; it’s a wooden folding chair so it’s going to be firm, and a seat cushion will make up for the stiffness if that’s your need. They are an exact match to chairs that my grandmother had to supplement the same table and chairs I inherited, so I’m very pleased.
