I love the fact that this chair is made of cedar...wish it was red cedar instead of white but still smells wonderful! This item was shipped FAST & FREE! This is a very sturdy chair and should last a very long time. I like the size of it as I am not a tiny woman it really holds me well and the seat room is perfect...very comfortable width-wise, though I did purchase a seat cushion for more comfort and cushiness. The only thing I didn't like about putting it together was the fact that there was much more sanding than I would have liked (done all by hand) and the screw holes are not pre- drilled (NO pilot holes), I had to figure out what angle and exactly where to drill them in, though the instructions mention nothing about needing a drill. It seemed somewhat unreasonable, to me anyway, for a 60 year-old woman to be drilling in fourteen 2" screws by hand into cedar wood without at least a pilot hole! When it is all said and done and after some minor frustration I am very happy with this purchase! I didn't leave the wood natural but added two coats of Thompson's Cedar Tint Water Seal for a BEAUTIFUL finish! A new coat of the Thompson's maybe every year or two for upkeep and maintenance and I should have this chair for a VERY LONG TIME!
Pros: Sturdy, Looks Great, Durable, Comfortable, Looks High End, very roomy for a large person
Cons: somewhat difficult to assemble, no pilot holes for screws
