After a week's work I got the chairs into the condition I expected, Fill voids, sand sharp corners, re-glue and clamp arms, seal with teak sealer. Quality truly was terrible, if I could rate a (0) l would. The manufacturer of the chairs is Teak Smith and they were made in Indonesia. I've purchased other chairs (also made in Indonesia) from Ash & Ember that are head and shoulders better, a great product. Teak Smith should hire a quality control department that knows what they are doing.

Be sure to order these waaaay in advance because apparently they start chopping the trees for the lumber only after you’ve ordered them. I ordered them November 4th for Thanksgiving. First week in December they canceled that order and started a new one because I hadn’t received them. I finally got them on January 9th. They are lovely chairs. I give them a B . They need additional sanding where the little piece of wood used for the join isn’t flush with the chair - it would be very uncomfortable for someone in shorts or it would rip a dress. These come assembled and stacked. They are solid, easy to stack and unstack, level and otherwise very nice chairs but for what I paid, I wanted them in a more reasonable amount of time and to be nicely sanded. Great straight back, not for lounging - good for posture.

Good quality. Great Price. Fast shipping.
