4.5 stars for this product (if 1/2 stars were possible). Its made of a sturdy plastic material and very comfortable to sit on (reminds of a modern Adirondack chair—slung low to ground). I docked it 1/2 star simply because it was a bit difficult to assemble. As other reviewers have noted, it requires quite a bit of force to snap the plastic tabs into place, especially at the seam where the back of the chair meets the seat. I assembled the chair by myself so I ended up wrapping a hammer in a towel and pounding the chair back down into the seat (didnt have a rubber mallet), but a narrow seam remains. The small back part of the chair also needed quite a bit of force to get the tabs locked into place and I found myself needing a tool of some kind to help force the tabs into the grooves. Otherwise, the set is attractuve and a great value for the money.
Attractive and great value but tabs hard to lock
