A lot of plastic patio furniture has a modern or retro look, which is fine, but I really wanted a traditional porch rocker. We live in a place that gets over 60 inches of rain annually, so it needed to be durable, too. Wood is a recipe for heartbreak in this climate. Even synthetic wicker only lasted about 10 years on our covered porch. So I was very excited to find this chair! Perfect look, and a material that will definitely hold up to the elements!
Assembly was easier than I expected / its a lot of bolt/tightening, but everything fit, there were only 2 kinds of bolts, and the tool that was provided was probably the highest quality hex wrench Ive ever gotten with a piece of furniture
My only complaints, and theyre small, are that I wish the seat were about 1 inch higher / Im only 56, but I find the seat a little low. And the texture of the material, which I had expected to be smooth, looks nice but like it might catch a little more dirt/pollen/algae than a smooth finish. Time will tell, but it will also be very easy to clean since its non/porous. And it looks a little more natural than a glossy smooth finish would, anyway.
I like this enough that I think Im going to replace the deck furniture at our cabin with the same stuff / worth the price for the quality and durability!
Traditional look, sturdy easy assembly!
