Amazon.com Product Description
Based on a classic American design, the Strathwood Talbot Adirondack-style chair and matching ottoman make a handsome addition to any patio, deck, or yard. Enjoy reclining, putting your feet up, and sipping a drink that rests easily on the chair's arm. The chair's ribbed slats are close enough together to provide an even, comfortable seating surface and far enough apart to let rain water fall through and dry out.

The chair set's dark stain finish enhances its natural, rich dark wood look. Rest comfortably knowing the all-weather outdoor chair and ottoman are built from premium, hand-selected dark shorea hardwood. Dark shorea is an exceptionally sturdy natural wood that doesn't require oiling except to maintain a desired color. Occasional oiling will help maintain the finish from the effects of rain, sun, and dew, or you may allow it to weather to a silver patina over time. As an added natural bonus, dark shorea is resistant to rot, mildew and insects. This set's wood is also FSC-COC certified, which guarantees it has been harvested from forests deemed to be under the practice of environmentally and economically sustainable forestry.

Individually machined using mortise-and-tenon construction for strength and durability, the chair and ottoman are sanded and then hand polished on all faces for a smooth feel. The set's hardware is stainless steel for rust-free performance. Sized for utility and convenience, the chair measures 38 inches wide by 27 inches deep by 36 inches high. The ottoman measures 22 inches wide by 16 inches deep by 13 inches high. Some easy assembly is required upon arrival.

Strathwood furniture has quality, ease of use, and casual elegance at its core. Each piece is rigorously tested for durability, and assembly instructions have been standardized for simplicity from start to finish. Strathwood furniture is sleekly designed, handsomely finished, and built to last. This classic style and reliable craftsmanship will weather ever-changing trends and regular use for years to come.

Attractive, but be prepared for problems during assembly1
I have put lots of furniture together and as a hobby build large wooden model airplanes, so I thought putting this chair together would be a cinch. If I had it to do again, I would not buy a Strathwood product.

Would not recommend this chair unless you are prepared for and have the tools for:
1. Drilling new holes in the correct place - could not assemble the way some of the holes were drilled.
2. Substituting your own hardware (i.e. carriage bolts, washers, nuts, etc) for the cheap hardware that came with the chair - the hardware has allen-wrench heads. Some of the machining was so bad that the hardware was unusable or stripped easily, so I needed to substitute. Not very attractive finished product with unmatched hardware.
3. Using your own allen wrenches to assemble - the 2 wrenches that came in the kit were of soft metal that did not last through the assembly process.
4. Using a clamp (like a medium size C-clamp) to pull the pieces together to assemble. Some of the wooden pieces were so warped that I had to clamp them together to get the hardware to work, otherwise the bolts were too short.

Good Luck!1
Poorly machined, absolute junk hardware (not stuff you're going to pick up at a hardware store, so be prepared for improvising a lot of substitutions), wooden parts need to be tweaked into position, but decent and comfortable once you somehow get the thing assembled. Amazon doesn't stock replacement hardware, but they offered a discount as one of the options. I'm sorry that a decent, well-priced product turns into an assembly nightmare over a simple lack of quality control - really didn't need to be that way.

Adirondack deck chairs4
The chairs are sturdy and appear to be well made. They should withstand the test of time and the outdoor elements.
Assembly was a bit ticky since the instructions don't make any suggestions on the order of assembly. Turns out it doesn't matter since no way was any easier than another.
All in all I'm happy with the chairs and would recommend them to others. Good product at a good price.
