Customer Reviews for Unfinished Wood Patio Adirondack Chair

Great price, fair quality. They were easy to assemble and seem reasonably sturdy.

These were the poorest quality furniture I've ever bought. There were many unfinished ends and even after everything was tightened properly they were wobbly. I'll be returning them. Absolute junk.

This chair is definitely a good value. The instructions were fairly easy to read and the hardware came with extras. The assembly was not as easy as expected. The holes did not all line up and some of the parts which are supposed to touch each other, do not. All in all, it is still a nice looking and comfortable chair.

Seems a little flimsy but overall a good product for the money.

lightweight, easy to assemble. not very comfortable. look good

Easy to put together, sturdy, holds my weight 285 lbs, I love the way I feel sitting in it.

I really like these chairs. They were very simple to put together and with a little paint they look great at my front entrance.

Great value. Required some additional structural support but nothing that a few screws did not fix.

Weak, brittle, thin, unstable. 'You get what you pay for' truly comes into effect here, these didn't last an entire summer before needed extra screws and support pieces added to help stabilize. I would recommend spending about double and gettting quality made chairs from somewhere else!

Not what I expected for the price

This product is extremely unstable and cheaply made. I was scepticle to buy this product, but figured I would give them them a shot. They are very easy to put together, but are simply poor quality. I glued all of the joints and tightened all of the screws and it still wobbled side to side when I sat in it. I retunered these chairs after building the first one (I bought 4). Do your homework, spend a little extra money for a thinker grade wood with better hardware. These are not worth your time trust me.

Absolute Garbage! The quality of wood is terrible and mismatched. The boards look to have been cut and drilled with tools verging on the sharpness of a wet noodle. I disassembled the entire chair to sand all of the surfaces and had no less than 3 of the cheap zinc screws break on each chair. After an entire day spend sanding, and prepping for stain, the wood would not accept stain with any consistency (yes I pretreated). I a last ditch effort to get a somewhat decent looking chair, I opted to spry paint. The variable wood quality is proving to require many many coats and I am now of the verge of using the chairs for their only appropriate use.... firewood.

I loved the idea of the chair BUT, it was not very sturdy. You can hold the arms and wiggle it back and forth and side to side without any effort. It says it holds a 250 lb person but it feels very unstable for that kind of weight. I weigh 120 and it wiggles with me. We tighten the screws as far as they would go, thinking that this would help but it did not. I would not purchase again.

I must admit I had low expectations buying these in the first place. But worse than expected. Cheap cheap scrappy pinewood. And no, its not fir like some posters say because its in the description that way. More like the childrens kits you make on Saturdays at HD. Came somewhat assembled with seven or eight larger pieces to bolt together. Easy to assemble though, and the precut/pre drilled holes all matched. And actually comfortable. In know way will this hold up for a year. I have had to re-tighten all the bolts & screws, to the point where if I tighten them anymore, they will pull all the way through the wood. I was hoping to stain/clearcoat the chairs, but after just two weeks and one rain storm, the wood is starting to mildew. I couldn't afford the pre-painted/nicer adirondack chairs, but for what these cost, I could have bought much much nicer metal patio chairs.

Easy assembly, looks good, fairly comfortable for what it is. Its is UNFINISHED meaning be ready to lightly sand it and stain it.

Great chair at a great price. Went together in about 10 minutes. Edges are all finished and smooth, better than I expected at this price

Overall poor craftsmanship. I know high volume fir chair out of China but really the value is $30 maybe $25 after you light sand, buy and apply stain to preserve and then use your own longer wood screws, add more screws and add reinforcements some areas maybe you trust 250lbs....that it could hold 400lbs as advertised is optimistic at best.

Good price for this product, but it doesn't fit together well. I bought 4 chairs for Mother's Day gift. Each assembly produced the same result. The top two screws that secure the back to the legs doesn't line up right, which in turn pulls the threads out of end of legs. The best fit happens when you leave all screws a little loose, and tighten them after these two. But i still had to add metal straps to hold the pieces together. No time to return and reassemble others. Very disappointing.

You get what you pay for. It's very cheaply built. Some factory screws are sunk completely through and others aren't sunk enough. I was unable to complete assembly due to factory holes not drilled at the proper angle and the wood is too brittle to do any fabrication of my own to make it work in those locations. I'm not a full time carpenter but have built my fair share of things. It's going back to the box for return.

Very cheap quality wood and craft. We returned it right after buying.

I always wanted Adirondack chairs, but the overall cost per chair was a issue, then I saw these! I thought score! Honestly, I like the look of Adirondack chairs sitting in a fresh cut lawn with pillows on them! Although, I'm not the outdoors type, we have a big back yard and deck and we needed adequate seating. I saw these at our local HD store. I told the hubby about them and we purchased 3. I didn't expect much for the price, but 3 years later we still have them. When we first purchased them and laid out the pieces, we had a issue with one chair and our HD store exchanged it for us. We prepped the wood (fir wood and its soft) and stained (black) them prior to assembly. We added wood glue for stability while assembling. Last year we tightening a side on 1 chair and this year we did minor stain touch ups to the arms. No we didn't seal them with anything afterwards. We don't leave our chairs out all year. We store them in our garage fall and winter. They are light, they sit well and they look nice. They work for us for now and I would recommend this product.

They did not meet our expectations. My husband opened one box to put the chair together and the wood was split already. The wood was very soft and he felt if he put another screw in it that it would cause the wood to split. We returned both of the chairs to the store. It had a high weight rating but I can't imagine someone even close to that size not breaking it when they sat down.

Easy to assemble

Pretty light duty wood

I was hesitant to buy these after reading some mixed reviews, but decided to go ahead and try them since the price was so reasonable. Either they've improved their manufacturing process or I got lucky with the two that I bought, but I did not have any issue with moldy or split/broken wood. All the necessary hardware was included. One of the chairs did have an issue lining up the drilled holes on the arms, however this was a quick and easy fix to drill a new hole. I finished them with a clear spar urethane to keep their natural finish. Seem pretty strong and hoping they last for a couple years!

Product was received with both broken and missing parts

My son put the chairs together and it went fairly quickly. We have a pool so things get used "hard" in our yard. The chairs seem sturdy and durable. We are painting them a vivid blue for a lovely accent in the yard. I expect to spend time reading in the chairs when the paint dries...

Bought 3 from store and all were unfinished Fir wood. 2 of them had extensive mold on the seat and seatback. Strange how one didn't. Had to wash down and sterilize, will stain when dry. Sent complaint to Home Depot hopefully they'll refund. Chairs are decent quality, other than mold, for the price.

Holes were drilled in wrong places, so the legs couldn't even be attached. Screws wouldn't thread, there were holes drilled in the seat of chair where screws weren't even supposed to go! I opened 2 chairs and couldn't complete one, even using pieces from both! Waste of time and money, both are going back to Home Depot. The price is tempting, but please, save yourself and go buy a $100 Adirondack chair.

Purchased 2 for our home. Sanded and painted. I had to add a 1 x 3 so that the back of the chair would hold a person. After I did that, the chair was very secured. Strongly suggest that this piece be added prior to having anyone sit on it.
