I didn't quite know what to expect, and the reviews are "mixed". But these chairs, though not high quality, will be exactly what we need on our Louisiana covered patio! We have had a set with sofa, chairs and ottoman, and coffee table. I'm going to love the gliders/recliners so I can rock my grandchildren when they are here. They don't (as others have mentioned) recline FULLY...and the footrests don't raise to the full height. The cushions are one-piece by the way, so no shifting around of seat and/or back cushions. I haven't yet put them outside due to the pine pollen in our area. But my husband is sitting in one of them to watch March Madness right now! Good purchase for the price, fast shipping, and no damage to report.
