We've had 4 of these chairs for a few years now. All have rotted and needed touch-up painting. Two have totally fallen apart and are unusable. They may be good on a covered porch or in a sunroom.
They should not be left out in any weather or on the soil at all.
This is perfect as a sunroom chair. It was easy to assemble - except for the one lag bolt that broke! But LL Bean is sending us a couple of replacement bolts.
