The chairs arrived and were in good shape. They are not flimsy at all. I bought these to replace 2 resin chairs for our patio. The problem was (and why I gave them only 3 stars), when I sat in the chair, my legs were sticking way out! I'm only 5'3" and there was no real support at all. The bottom edge of the chair was at about mid-thigh. As I bought these for sitting and not so much for lounging, they just didn't work. Cute, but not useful for my purpose.
