Fletcher Dark Wood Outdoor Reclining Adirondack Chair

The media could not be loaded. Bought four of these. Just finished putting them together. Assembly time was around 1/2 hour per chair. All went together well except for one which seems to be warped. (See pics and video) This chair will probably break at some point because it doesn't line up right. Time will tell. There was also one area of the assembly that gave me trouble on all of the chairs and that was the left armrest nut in the front. It did not line up well. I was able after fidgeting with it to get it to work but be careful when screwing in this nut as you can cross thread it easily. Don't force it. It's very important that you don't tighten any bolts until the entire chair is assembled. This helps everything line up. I added small pillows to each for better lumbar support but other than that they are very comfortable. A blanket might help to add some cushioning. I'm going to apply some marine varnish on the top surfaces for added weather protection. The fact that they are made of acacia wood and pre-stained makes the price very reasonable. The real test will be how long they hold up. To be continued.Follow up report: I've had these chairs for almost 6 months now. They look great! They have performed well and are very comfortable when you add a small travel pillow to the lumbar area. A folded blanket is a nice addition as well and makes the chairs less hard. Small folks, like my 5" wife, don't care for them. Too big for her. They are great for taller women and average to large men. The marine varnish I applied really helped. I recommend doing this for longevity and feel. People who have sat in them like the slick feel the varnish offers. The price is great for what you get and the minor defects I experienced with one of the chairs hasn't been a problem. Botton Line - I would highly recommend these chairs!

I cannot recommend this product. I was unable to get one screw secured, so one leg was always a bit wobbly. But at least it looked great and was useable. But this is what is looked like after 14 months: It didn't even survive a second winter. Perhaps I should have put it away for the winter but I don't remember seeing that advice in the accompanying literature. I'm going to chop it up and use it for firewood. It should have lasted longer.

The color is lovely. The seats are very comfortable with a small pillow. Disappointed that one chair cracked immediately. There are inconsistencies in the stain as well. One chair was easy to put together while the other didn’t seem to fit right and parts are still loose.

I bought 6 of these for our camp site in the mid west in May ‘18. Assembly was ok. Took some time but with 6, about what I expected. The water and weather started effecting the finish on the arm rests almost immediately. I’m now one year out and as I take them out of storage I expect to try sanding and a water seal stain to get them through another couple of seasons. That’s just related to the finish. One of the seat slats broke on one chair within months last season. I figured that was isolated maybe, to a weak slat. Out of storage this season and another slat on another seat broke. No cause I could identify. No one climbing on the chairs, no heavy wear and tear. And mind you we are not large or heavy people. Going to contact the seller to see if they will at least provide replacement parts. Fingers crossed otherwise I should have bought cheaper chairs locally if I was only going to get one full year out of 1/3 of my purchase.

Bought two and, with some reservation, will buy two more. Shipping prompt and very well packed. Good luck repacking if you want to return them. Wood seems to be of good quality and well finished. Instructions were clear--both writing and diagrams. Went together quickly and would have been quicker if I had not spent time trying to correct the two issues below.First chair went together without issue. But one of the bottom supports does have a warp so that the dowel from the back support does not drop squarely into any of the three indents on that side. Spent some time trying to square the chair off before looking closely at that piece of wood to find it curved out. So only about one inch of the dowel rests on the bottom support at that side, rather than the two full inches that should. Not a deal breaker--as long as it does not continue to warp.The second chair had a different defect. There are eight "large bolts" that screw into their "large nuts." Those "nuts" are actually female sleeves with allen heads. You screw the allen head bolt into these allen sleeves to hold the base support to the front legs and back support. On the first chair these tightened down snugly. On the second chair they all bottomed out before snugly securing the parts together. There was about 1/16" movement in & out, which gave the front legs a bit of wobble. That wobble would surely increase as time went on.This issue was "solved" by going out and purchasing some washers that I placed on the inside to (partially) conceal them. But it does take away that finished appearance. Either the bolts were all a tad too long, the wood milled a tad too narrow, or (most likely) the milling to recess the heads flush with the wood was a tad too deep.All and all my wife thinks they're "pretty" and we'll keep them. As my father-in-law used to say, "good enough." Woodworking is not always exact and if you're willing to accept some issues like I had you should get a sturdy chair.

The chairs went together well. All the parts were there. Everything lined up. Good quality control in the manufacturing. We used them all summer by our fire pit and they were great. Easy to move around when it came time to mow lawn and very comfortable. I hosed them down before putting them away for the winter and they still look brand new. I would buy them again.

Poor quality. Not worth the wait or the money. Very disappointed!

Not sure why any reviews less than 5 stars. Chair is clean, easy to put together, has a great dark finish, and reclines. Perfect. I stained mine once it came to ensure it can withstand anything weather-wise.
