Rated 5 out of 5 by dgs4 Adirondack chair
I think this is a well-built, comfortable chair for a great price. I also like that it is built in the US.

Purchased two classic wooden chairs as a Christmas gift for my wife. Shipment arrived on time as assured by LLB. Assembly was relatively quick and easy. All parts were included. The printed instructions were good, but could be more descriptive. Overall quality of the chairs is good with a comfortable design.

I wish I could rave about these chairs, but I'm disappointed with them. We were trying to replace our 15 year old "Adirondack" chairs that have sat through salt and sun for years. While the LL Bean chairs were easy to assemble, the quality does not compare. When you sit in them they squeak and make "creaky" noises. They are not nearly as comfortable as the backs are flat rather than curved and the backs are not as tall as the chairs we have. So, you can not lay back in them and have your head on the chair. I think we paid about the same for the locally made set of chairs 15 years ago and although they have some loose nails, the quality is much nicer, more solid and much more comfortable. I expected the best from LL Bean. I should have done more research, paid closer attention to measurements and Shopped Locally!!!!

Rated 3 out of 5 by Pandemonia Does not withstand Mother Nature
The chairs look really nice but the red fades quickly from being outdoor year-round and the wood rotted due to cracks caused by weight stress and exposed to the outdoors. Our chairs rotted at same location on anterior panel of the seats where panels are screwed to the bottom frame. Fortunately, LLBean always provide excellent customer service and sent us replacement parts. We have ordered with LLBean for over 20 years and will continue to do so.

Rated 1 out of 5 by swimminlizzy Disappointing Gift
Our adult kids gave us two of these chairs and one of the folding side tables last year for Christmas. We have kept the furniture on a partially covered deck, well off the ground. It has been a very dry year here in the Northeast, so being in a constantly wet environment has not been a problem. But the paint is chipping off and the chairs are wobbly unless the hardware is constantly tightened. Sometimes the nuts fall off the bolts and we have to go searching for them. We know they were not cheap and feel badly because we know our kids paid quite a bit and will feel badly to know we didn't keep their gift. But the chairs are going back. These are definitely not up to L L Bean standards and I am very surprised that the company continues to market them.

Rated 1 out of 5 by LoveLLbean87 Not the quality I expect from LLBean
We received 2 of these chairs as a wedding gift in July and were very excited, but it is only the beginning of September and they have already taken a beating from the weather. the finish seems to be wearing off, the screws are turning the wood black, and the wood appears to be cracking. I realize that they fold up, however they are heavy and it is simply not practical to store them when they're not in use. It seems to me that these chairs are intended to be used outside, however they are not built to withstand the elements. We do not live in an extreme weather climate, we have a few 90 degree days all summer and some rain showers. They are/were beautiful and look great in front of our house, but I'm afraid that they are not going to last very long. I know this is not the quality product that the gift-givers expected either.

I purchased 4 dark green chairs about 3 years ago. All 4 are rotting out ( seats and back ). Water gets in around the screws and the wood starts to rot . They might be ok on a porch under a roof. LL Bean sent me some replacement parts but the chairs are too far gone to repair anymore. Don't buy these for continuous outside use where they are exposed to weather.

I don't write reviews just to complain, in fact I am reading other reviews because I'm about to purchase another one of the chairs. I just returned 1 out of 2 of the chairs I bought last year. I stored both inside during the winter, but nonetheless 1 white chair has already begun to chip paint everywhere. Llbean said it is not common, so I returned it and plan to purchase another. After reading all these 1 star reviews for the exact same problem, I am second guessing.

Chairs looked good for 1 season. After the 2nd season they had to be painted. Since then they have started falling apart. They are now going to the recycling yard...Terrible waste of money.

Chairs have not held up well even though not left outside in the Michigan weather.
Would not buy painted/coated - may be better in natural wood.
Chair is very comfortable however!
