KINGYES Folding Adirondack Chair - Heavy Duty HDPE All-Weather Outdoor Lounge Chair with Cup Holder, Lightweight & Portable for Patio, Garden, Poolside, Beach (Apple Green)

I just assembled the first of 4 of these chairs that I ordered. Here are my first impressions. The materials are beautiful--well-cut and -finished--and it came partially assembled, which is very nice. Everything that was preassembled is on very straight. The chair is extremely sturdy and quite generously sized. I'm 5'3" and I need a cushion to make the chair feel like it fits me, rather than me feeling like a kid in a grown-up's chair. My 6'4" husband finds the size to be perfect. Overall I'm super happy with the quality, appearance, and comfort.Now, on to the two little problems that require the drill. There are holes that hold pins, which prevent the chair from collapsing while one is sitting in it. The holes are on both front legs and go through, into the seat. The holes in the seat section were too small to accept the pin diameter. Yes, I could pound the pins in with a mallet, and I did, only to require a lever to get them out. So I drilled the holes out to the appropriate size. Much better. Next issue is the last piece that goes on. It's a crosspiece that links the front legs. The holes in the legs for the screws are centered perfectly; the countersunk holes on the ends of the crosspiece are drilled toward the outside. The holes did NOT line up. Since the crosspiece holes are already countersunk, I redrilled the legs, which was tricky (the new holes are VERY close to the originals) but it worked out (sigh of relief).Bottom line: super happy with this purchase. These chairs are many steps above the plastic, one-piece hardware store Adirondacks we've had, and that keep breaking. This one chair would receive 5 stars if it wasn't for the misaligned/improperly drilled holes, and the time it took to figure out and execute the fixes. Glad I'm handy with the power tools! I'll update after the other 3 are assembled.Update (8/29/22) I assembled all 4 chairs, and they're truly beautiful, comfortable, and sturdy. However, I had to do some drilling on every single one. The first two chairs were obviously from the same batch. What I described having to do for chair #1 was the same for chair #2. Chairs #3 and #4 were the same as each other but different from the first two. I had some redrilling to do on these, too, but in different spots, and the tool sets, directions, and a couple of chair parts were a little different from the first two. Oh, and for chair #4 the bolts and screws were completely mislabeled. Wasn't that fun??? Not! But, oh well, the chairs are together and they're great. And, unlike wood, which will splinter and split, redrilling this plastic resin, even when the new holes were just a few millimeters from the originals, was no problem.New bottom line: I'm very pleased with these chairs and have no complaints after assembling them. But I wouldn't expect them to go together without extra work. Tool-wise, an electric drill and a good selection of drill sizes is what you'll need for the repairs. A hex socket wrench, along with the allen head wrench they provide, will make the job go much faster. The chairs would definitely benefit from some quality control from the manufacturer. Maybe this review, and others like it, will help them iron out their problems. Maybe they should give me a new chair for free for helping them out! Hey, a girl can try.These KINGYES Adirondack chairs match the KINGYES side tables (which we also purchased).Tables and chairs are a pretty navy blue.We purchased six chairs and they were relatively easy to assemble. After the second or third, my husband and I had the process down. Definitely easier to assemble them between two people.The chairs are comfortable and sturdy and we love the folding feature; it makes them easy to store.Only thing to keep in mind is that they might come from different factories, so there was a difference in the way the holes for the screws were drilled, meaning, some were recessed in some chairs and not in others but it was not a biggie. We love the chairs and we recommend them.I needed a set to be the focal point of an otherwise dead space...WHAT A GREAT CHOICE! Easy to put together, they can be dressed up with pillows, very sturdy, and very comfortable! And they can even be folded and put away for the winter! So glad I shopped around and found these! The black is a true black (sun hitting the left chair in the picture makes it appear lighter than it is in person). LOVE LOVE LOVE them!I was a bit fearful of the reviews.Positives for me (your mileage may vary)* packaging very secure. Slight shipping damage - thanks UPS. Nothing internal though.* all hardware included* easy to follow instructions. Tip - use electric rachet and drill.* consistent color - I bought 1 by 1 to get the discount so I was a little wary the colors would match as others said (brown)* well made and IMHO comparable to local chairs costing $280 plus* comfortable seating position. Throw a cushion on it.. even better.Possible Negative* I can't give it 5 stars yet. My concern is the seat bottom. I'm around 200lbs (don't hate) and there is a bit of "give" on the slats. Time will tell if they hold up and don't sink too much or if my diet takes hold. ?They look easy enough to cut a thicker board if needed and create a two toned chair.Take the weight of your folks who will be using it.Overall a great purchase.One other suggestion to putting them together. Lie it on it's side and install all hardware on that side then flip and do other side. Took me about 20-25 mins per chair.Hope this review helps.Purchased four orange chairs. Easy to assemble, quality is terrific. Easy to understand instructions. Needed to communicate with the company, and was delighted with the timeliness of the response. Color of a blue chair was the need. Went with orange instead. Put all four together in just over an hour. All holes in correct place. All hardware included. Even the tools came with the item.Great experience.There are so many Adirondack Chairs out there ranging from $50-$800, it can be difficult to find one that is good quality yet doesn't break the bank. I am so very happy with my purchase. I purchased two chairs and during assembly I noticed one of them was missing a small part, I contacted the company and they responded immediately and got me the part quickly. I am so happy. I love that they are 'oversized' and can easily fold away for storage. I purchased the white and was a bit concerned about dirt, but they are so easy to clean. I was going to purchase cushions, but honestly these chairs are so comfortable I am not going to purchase cushions. I couldn't be happier with my purchase.Great chairs, pretty easy to put together, one suggestion is to put it on a bench so you’re not constantly bending over. My brother bought some from some store and although they are just a little bit heavier, he paid easily 2 times more maybe 3 times. But his ar not foldable.Like so much I bought 5 more.Very easy to put together - especially since the back and seat were already done. Very sturdy and comfortable. Look very nice on our dock!
