Adirondack Rocker

We bought two chairs. The directons to assemble the chairs were poor, vague and useless. I assembled the chairs through "trial and error". The wood is thin and soft. The finish is terrible. The finish was missing on both chairs, the edges chipped, and the stain blotchy. The poor finish iritated me the most. I plan to keep the chairs because they took so long to assemble...and the difficulty to send back. I plan to re-paint. Not a good buy at any price and can not recommend.

Okay, my bad, I ignored most of the bad reviews for this product. I don't think of $105 for a chair as too cheap and thought I would take a chance. I bought two of them. The first one managed to get put together despite inferior hardware. The second one required a trip to the hardware store to replace screws. There was also a nice, long crack in one of the arms which will get worse over time. I would recommend skipping this chair and perhaps most other chairs ordered online. Visit a local store where you can see and touch the merchandise. You also have a place to bring it back if there's a problem. I don't know what awaits me when I try and sort this out.

We're at three of these now and even tho I wanted to mix up my patio furniture - these are the chairs that everyone goes for. This is not the easiest to put together and should have two people there to hold the pieces, but it's well worth the wait. One comment is that it rocks back quite far, which others love for stargazing but I prefer it to rock a bit less back - I just put a stopper behind the leg for me - or a piece of wood. Sometimes I just rock all the way back. Wonderful piece tho. I've paid much more and liked things way less.

I have bought some bad stuff in my day, but this may be the worst. Hardware, wood, paint, instructions all bad. I would not recomend sitting in these more than occasionally. Might be fine for decoration. Wood was split on one rocker, factory installed piece had screws pulled out. Paint job was poor, missing spots. Hardware will strip out very quickly. Careful not to tighten the screws to much, will strip out in the cheap wood.
