I very rarely stop to write reviews. I'm raving about these chairs (purchased as part of the Nautical 5-piece dining set).
We'd initially gone in looking for adirondack style chairs, and while looking through the catalog, decided to take a seat on the floor model of these chairs. Within, no joke, probably 5 minutes, we knew we'd found what we were looking for. Great for a group of four, small casual dining for breakfast, lunch, dinner - whatever.
A few features that we discovered are invaluable:
1) Backrest has a cut-out for carrying, if you need to (very handy)
2) Chairs are three-way adjustable; sit up to eat, and then lean back for conversation. These ended up being quite a bit more versatile than adirondacks, which are still on our wish list, but we can hold off for a bit.
3) Extremely durable, and heavy. Which is great. We get high winds whipping around periodically. These are not going anywhere.
4) Foldable, yes. I wouldn't want to move them frequently, but at least being able to fold and lean up against the table - takes less space, and can fit under a canopy better to keep them dry and protected.
Enjoy! I had heard good things about Polywood and seen some of their products in wine country and some outdoor bars. I am thrilled with the investment.
