KINGYES Folding Adirondack Chair, HDPE All-Weather Patio Chairs, Wooden Textured Lawn Chair for Poolside, Backyard, Deck, Fire Pit, Grey

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.

Quite a bit smaller than expected, but good quality and easy to assemble. I’m 6’3” - so the chairs feel really low to the ground, and I can’t rest my head on the back while sitting up. Slouching I can. Other shorter people have complemented the chairs, but I am disappointed.

Key points: - sturdy - stainless steel hardware - assembly as it was intended - good value - reasonable size and weight In order for the chair to fold, bolts cannot be fully locked down. Otherwise, the moving parts will not move. To fold, the parts must be left somewhat less than locked down. Too loose, the chair will wobble; too tight; no fold. Must find your own balance. Included hardware is of good quality, stainless steel - important if chair is left outside. Assembly was straightforward but the instructions, while complete, could be better. Photos would be an improvement over the basic sketches. This chair is sold under a few names: Kingyes seems to be the manufacturer, but the same chair can be found through other retailers with a range of prices (nothing lower than Amazon, but many higher). This is the 'smooth' chair; a more posh version offers simulated grain. This chair is not grainy, but it is textured. Material is HDPE (vs HIPS). Both materials have advantages. Key difference (that I found) is that HDPE is better for colder climates; HIPS for warmer. For St Louis, bit of crapshoot, but I chose the HDPE. Weight is approx 40# - many of the lower weight chairs (30-ish #) had the highest #s of poor reviews - some higher weight chairs (50-ish #) were too heavy Comfort - well it's not a living room chair, but it's a good shape: curved back; no sharp edges. For more comfort (ie, softer) - get a cushion. All in all, pleased and recommend.

Very tedious to put together but they came out beautifully! I love them. Great price compared to some many other brands. And they fold up which is convenient!

These chairs were very easy to put together. The directions were clear and it came with everything you need to put it together. Can’t beat the price!
