Der Stuhl wurde gut und sicher verpackt geliefert.
Die bebilderte Anleitung sollte man sich beim Zusammenbau wirklich
sehr genau betrachten und zu hundert Prozent daran halten, dann klappt
der Zusammenbau gut. Die angegebene Zeit fr den Aufbau von
30 bis 40 Minuten haben wir berschritten. Zu zweit brauchten wir eine
knappe Stunde. Das Ergebnis kann sich dann aber sehen lassen.
Der Stuhl ist schwer und stabil. Er kann gegenber einem Holzstuhl das
ganze Jahr drauen stehen bleiben. Ich denke jedoch, dass ein Holzstuhl
dennoch immer eine gute Alternative bleibt. Der Stuhl ist aus HDPE.
Meiner Information nach hat recyceltes “HDPE” aber die Bezeichnung “R-HDPE” (?).
Nun gut, hier kann jeder selbst ein bisschen googeln und sich ber das
Produkt genauer informieren, sofern ein tiefergehendes Interesse besteht.
Der Stuhl ist sehr gemtlich. Die Sitzposition ist sehr tief.
Ich glaube, dass meine Oma hier Probleme gehabt htte, sich reinzusetzen.
Fr junge, beziehungsweise junggebliebene Personen, ist der Stuhl aber ein
echter Zugewinn. Bei mir steht er auf der Terrasse. Ich geniee darin tglich
mindestens eine Stunde Sonne, sofern sie scheint und geniee meinen Kaffee.
Die Sitzposition kann zwar nicht verndert werden, ist jedoch wirklich super
angenehm und gemtlich.
Der Preis liegt mit 179,00 (Stand 28.10.22) nicht gerade im niedrigen Segment.
Fazit: Super Qualitt, Aufbau zeitintensiv, wetterfest, schwer/ kann auch bei
Sturm drauen stehen bleiben und schaut toll aus. Nachteile knnen aus meinem
Text entnommen werden, sofern man sie als Nachteile ansieht.
Wer sich diesen Stuhl leisten mchte, wird garantiert sehr damit zufrieden sein.
Kann ich empfehlen !!!!!!!!
Mega hochwertig in der Verarbeitung. Schon das gelieferte Paket war sehr schwer, so auch der Stuhl. Ich mag behaupten er ist qualitativ wirklich super.
Der Aufbau ist okay, alleine etwas schwierig, aber machbar.
Der Gartenstuhl von Torva kommt sicher verpackt und zerlegt an. Der Aufbau besteht aus fnf Schritten und ist mit etwas handwerklichem Geschick zu bewltigen. Es muss nur die Rcklehne mit der Sitzflche verbunden werden, dann noch die Sttze und die Armlehnen anschrauben. Alle Schrauben sind mit dem beiliegenden Sechskantschlssel zu befestigen. Da die beiden beiliegenden Sechskantschlssel leider nicht von guter Qualitt sind, haben wir unseren eigenen Sechskantschlssel verwendet. Der Aufbau gelingt zu zweit gut und nimmt nicht viel Zeit in Anspruch. Alle Teile sind przise gefertigt und gut geschliffen. Die Schraubverbindungen halten fest, so dass auch beim Tragen und Verstellen des Stuhles nichts wackelt.
Der marineblaue Gartenstuhl sieht optisch nicht schlecht aus. Die Sitz- und Rckenflche sind sehr gro und man kann sich angenehm darauf niederlassen. Im Gegenzug zu hnlichen Gartensthle lsst sich dieser ganz einfach zusammenklappen.
Ein schner und stabiler Gartenstuhl fr die Terrasse oder den Garten. Wir haben gleich den passenden ebenfalls marineblauen Beistelltisch geordert. Die gute Qualitt des Materials und der Verarbeitung lsst auf eine lange Lebensdauer hoffen.
Der Stuhl kam erstklassig verpackt und unbeschdigt bei uns an. Das Material erscheint hochwertig und der Stuhl macht wie fr den Preis zu erwarten einiges mehr her, als seine Brder aus dnnem Kunststoff.
Die Endmontage ging gut und verstndlich von der Hand und der Stuhl macht einen uerst stabilen Eindruck.
Er lsst sich klappen und kann somit etwas platzsparender verstaut werden. Das hohe Gewicht unterstreicht den sehr positiven und qualitativen Eindruck.
Auf diesem modernen Stuhl fr den Auenbereich kann ich wunderbar und bequem sitzen,
a b e r: am Aufbau wre ich beinah gescheitert und musste mir Hilfe holen. Da sollte sich der
Hersteller schnell ein wenig Vereinfachung einfallen lassen.
Der TORVA Adirondack Stuhl aus recyceltem Kunststoff befindet sich in einer Verpackung aus Pappe. Alles ist sauber und unbeschdigt.
Der Lieferumfang ist vollstndig. Eine bebilderte Aufbauanleitung liegt bei.
Material und Verarbeitung machen einen wertigen Eindruck. Es finden sich keine Fehler oder Beschdigungen. Holz wre mir noch lieber, aber der Kunststoff ist immerhin recycelt.
Die Form des Stuhles sollte man mgen. Man sitzt bequem, aber tief. Fr Menschen, die Probleme mit dem Rcken oder den Knien haben und schwer hoch kommen, knnte der Stuhl nicht geeignet sein.
Die Klappfunktion des Stuhles ist schwergngig. Auch das Gewicht des Produktes ist beachtlich.
Der Stuhl ist pflegeleicht und lsst sich einfach reinigen.
Den Preis von derzeit 220 Euro finde ich hoch angesetzt.
Das Produkt gefllt. Kaufempfehlung.
Als ich diesen Stuhl bestellt habe lag der Preis bei ca 189 Euro. Nun, ca 2 Wochen spter liegt der Preis bei 220 Euro. Das finde ich fr einen Stuhl- mag er noch so toll sein- schon heftig.
Der zusammenbau war fr mich alleine gut machbar. Eine verstndliche Anleitung und alle bentigten Werkzeuge lagen dem Stuhl bei.
Was ich hier leider stark kritisieren muss ist die Funktion, den Stuhl zusammenzuklappen.
Es ist zwar gut mglich aber das auseinanderklappen ist eine Katastrophe.
Der Stuhl kann nmlich ber die Sitzposition hinaus auseinandergeklappt werden.
Um nicht samt Stuhl nen Abgang zu machen, muss er bevor man sich hinsetzt, einmal mit den Bolzen befestigt werden, die seitlich unterhalb der Armlehnen hngen.
Nach dem Auseinanderklappen, passen die Lcher aber nicht mehr bereinander und man bekommt die Bolzen nicht in den Stuhl gedrckt.
Ich musste ihn dafr auf die Seiten drehen und mit einem Hammer nachhelfen.
Das geht gar nicht!
Ich kann diesen Stuhl also nur empfehlen, wenn man nicht vor hat, ihn fter Zusammenzuklappen.
Um nochmal zu etwas positivem zu kommen- das Material wirkt hochwertig ( ist brigens sehr schwer) und ich vermute eine gute Wetterfestigkeit.
Man sitzt tief aber sehr bequem.
Die Armlehnen sind so breit, dass man prima Getrnke darauf abstellen kann.
Fazit:
Der Preis und die Klappfunktion sorgen fr Punktabzug. Abgesehen davon ein toller, bequemer Stuhl, bei dem ich glaube, dass er jedem Wetter stand hlt.
Der Gartenstuhl wird in weiten Teilen (Rckelehne und Sitzteil) vormontiert geliefert. Nur die Armlehnen, Beine und Verstrkungen mssen noch angeschraubt werden. Alle Teil sind ordentlich gekennzeichnet und das erforderliche Werkzeug liegt vollstndig bei.
Die Montage ist allein machbar und dauert etwa eine halbe Stunde. Mit einer Ratsche und einem Akkuschrauber (statt dem mitgelieferten Werkzeug) lsst sich die Montage etwas vereinfachen und beschleunigen.
Ich kenne diese Art von Sthlen aus den USA und war schon dort berrascht, wie bequem sie sind. Auch in diesem Stuhl sitzt man ausgesprochen gut. Was mir bislang nicht bewusst war ist, wie leicht man diesen Stuhl auch zusammenklappen kann. Das ist grade im Winter zum einlagern optimal.
Dadurch das der Stuhl aus Kunststoff und nicht aus Holz ist, ist er uerst Pflegeleicht und auch Wetterresistent.
Ich bin mit dem Gartenstuhl uerst zufrieden, Verarbeitung, Material, Optik und Sitzkomfort sagen mir zu. Ich kann den optisch ansprechenden Gartenstuhl uneingeschrnkt weiterempfehlen!
Bewertet wird TORVA Adirondack Stuhl aus recyceltem Kunststoff, HDPE, zusammenklappbar,
Das fast 20 Kilogramm schwere Paket kam gut verpackt und unbeschadet bei uns an.
Der Terrassenstuhl aus recyceltem Kunststoff kommt in Einzelteilen und muss erst einmal zusammengebaut werden. Den Stuhl alleine aufzubauen, wrde ich nicht empfehlen. Imbus-Schrauben mit Mutter mssen eingeschraubt und auch festgehalten werden und die Einzelteile sind, wie man beim Gewicht des Paketes schon vermuten kann, sehr schwer.
Zu zweit bentigt man ca. eine Stunde fr den Aufbau des wertigen Gartenstuhls. Je nachdem wie begnadet die Hnde sind. Wir habe eher vier linke Hnde.
Die Kleinteile sind genau abgezhlt. Alles passt sehr gut und lsst sich prima miteinander verbinden. Aber: Fr den letzten Querbalken sind keine Lcher vorgebohrt. Der Balken muss eingeschraubt werden. Der aufgebaute Stuhl ist robust, stabil und kann zur Aufbewahrung sogar zusammengeklappt werden.
Die breiten Armlehnen sind sehr bequem und man kann auch mal eine Kaffeetasse darauf abstellen. Und es ist ein schner Platz fr unsere Katerchen, die sehr gerne auf Armlehnen sitzen.
Auch zum Sitzen ist der Stuhl total bequem. Man mag gar nicht aufstehen. Noch ein kuscheliges Kissen und der neue Lieblingsplatz ist komplett.
Die Verarbeitung ist tadellos.
Ich durfte den Terrassenstuhl im Rahmen des Vine Programms kostenlos testen. Das hat keinen Einfluss auf meine Bewertung.
Ich bewerte den Stuhl mit 4.5 Punkten, weil das Material recycelt ist, hochwertig wirkt, die Verarbeitung in Ordnung ist, der Stuhl bequem und gut verstaut werden kann. Der Preis ist etwas hoch, deswegen ziehe ich einen halben Punkt ab.
Was mir gefallen hat:
+ Qualitt und Verarbeitung sind sehr gut. Hier konnte ich keinerlei Mngel feststellen.
+ Der Zusammenbau war vergleichsweise leicht, jedoch empfehle ich es mit 2 Personen zu machen.
+ Der Stuhl steht stabil und wackelt nicht.
+ Der Winkel ist sehr angenehm, um auch mehrere Stunden auf dem Stuhl zu sitzen.
+ Der Stuhl lsst sich platzsparend zusammenklappen.
Was mir nicht gefallen hat:
– Fr die Querstange waren 4 Lcher nicht vorgebohrt. Das htte man meiner Meinung nach machen knnen. Zumindest die Anstze dafr, da es schwer ist die Stange gerade zu halten und zu schrauben.
– Bei einer Krpergre von 1,80 m kommt man schon mit dem Kopf an das Ende der Rckenlehne. Die htte etwas lnger sein knnen.
Fazit: Der Stuhl sieht sehr hochwertig aus und ist gemtlich. Ich kann ihn weiterempfehlen.

Die exakte Amazon Produkt-Bezeichnung lautete:

Die meisten Informationen erhlt man ja bereits, wenn man sich den Text und die Bilder in der Amazon-Produktbeschreibung anschaut, und auch die anderen — z.T. sehr ausfhrlichen — Rezensionen liest.
Weil ich dem eigentlich nichts Neues hinzufgen kann, fasse ich mich kurz:
Es handelt sich hier um einen Bausatz — man muss die Einzelteile also erst noch zusammenfgen.
Die Material- ebenso wie die Verarbeitungs- Qualitt aller Teile scheint ok zu sein.
Der fertige Stuhl hat ein ordentliches Gewicht — ich denke, selbst ein Hurrikan knnte ihn nicht so leicht wegpusten.
Bei Bedarf kann man ihn aber rel. einfach zusammenklappen — und wenn man krftig genug ist, auch wegstellen. Das muss aber nur den Winter ber sein — von Frhjahr bis Herbst kann er rund um die Uhr drauen stehen. Regenwetter macht ihm nichts aus.
Man sitzt sehr relaxt in diesem Stuhl, und die breiten Armlehnen laden zum abstellen z.B. von Getrnken ein.
Alles in allem ein cooles Teil — zwar aus Kunststoff, aber immerhin aus recyceltem.
Nur der Zusammenbau ist etwas tricky, und sollte Frau am besten in Zusammenarbeit mit einem DIY-bewanderten (Ehe-) Mann bewerkstelligen, der eventuell dann auch einen Akku-Schrauber mitbringt — alleine htte ich es vermutlich nicht geschafft.

Beurteilung
Ich dachte erst “oh man ganz schn viel geld fr einen stuhl”. Aber wenn er erstmal ankommt wisst ihr warum. Und zwar direkt am gewicht, da das Paket locker 20kg wiegt und der Stuhl sau schwer ist.
Also fix ausgepackt das Ganze. Die Verarbeitung ist sehr sehr gut. Damit bin ich wirklich zufrieden und er lsst sich leicht und ohne probleme zusammen bauen.
Die Stabilitt ist hier absolut gegeben, da kann man sich auch zu zweit draufsetzen.
Fazit
Ich kann den stuhl absolut empfehlen und bin damit hoch zufrieden. Ich hoffe ich konnte euch mit meiner Erfahrung helfen.
Ich hoffe das war hilfreich
Der Stuhl von Torva ist der perfekte Relaxstuhl fr drauen.
Er wird in einem groen schweren Paket geliefert und muss zusammen gebaut werden
Der Aufbau ist nicht ganz einfach.
Wichtig! Haben wir nicht beachtet die Schrauben nicht einfach aus der Packung nehmen!
Das mitgelieferte Werkzeug nicht unbedingt geeignet – wir haben unser eigenes verwendet. Mit diesem sind wir besser zurecht gekommen.
Fr den Aufbau sollte man auch zu zweit sein. Einer hlt der andere schraubt.
Die Anleitung ist okay, manchmal haben wir trotzdem berlegen mssen
Allerdings das Endprodukt berzeugt und somit ist die Anstrengung fr den Aufbau auf jeden Fall wert!
Der Stuhl ist stabil und sieht gut aus
Er ist vielleicht ein bisschen wuchtiger als ein gewhnlicher Stuhl aber uns gefllt er.
Durch seine graue Farbe passt er perfekt zu uns
Damit er weniger Platz weg nimmt kann man ihn auch zusammenklappen
Damit man perfekt sitzt und relaxen kann werden wir uns noch einen Hocker kaufen um die Fsse hochzulege
Der hier angebotene Liegestuhl ldt bei wrmeren Temperaturen zum Verweilen ein. Aber vorher muss der Stuhl noch aufgebaut werden. Der Aufbau ist auf den ersten Blick etwas kompliziert. Alle Teile sind beschriftet, aber erst einmal muss man erkennen, was auf den Bilder der Anleitung eigentlich genau dargestellt ist. Wir haben am Ende mit einer aufbauenden Person rund 20 Minuten bentigt; mit weniger bung beim Mbelaufbau solltet ihr euch aber nicht frustrieren lassen, wenn es lnger dauert. Theoretisch liegt das bentigte Werkzeug bei, wir empfehlen aber einen Akkuschrauber mit Drehmomentbegrenzung. Damit geht es mheloser und schneller als manuell. Die Begrenzung ist ntig, um den Kunststoff nicht zu beschdigen. Eine durchdrehende Schraube wrde das Gewinde zerstren. Bitte bertreibt es mit den Festziehen also nicht! Der Akkuschrauber in Verbindung mit dem kleinen Maulschlssel zum Konzern der Mutter erfordert besondere Vorsicht, sonst sind die Finger schnell geklemmt.
Tipp: der Querbalken aus dem letzten Schritt muss ins Plastik geschraubt werden, Vorbohrungen gibt es nicht. Dazu die Beine etwas nach auen Drcken, so dass Abschlsse bndig werden.
Das Zusammenklappen erfordert etwas Mhe und funktioniert nicht, wenn die Schrauben zu stark angezogen sind. Beim Wiederaufstellen ist es schwierig, die Lcher genauso bereinander zu bekommen, dass der Stift fr durchgeht.
Der Stuhl ist ordentlich verarbeitet und wir finden ihn optisch ansprechend. Einmal aufgebaut ist das Sitzen in ihm tatschlich super bequem — es ist eher ein halbes Liegen. Hochschwanger knnte (auch aufgrund des geringen Abstands zum Boden) das Aufstehen schwerfallen. Super finden wir auch die breiten Lehnen – kann man dort doch entspannt die Kaffeetasse abstellen oder auch mal ein Buch ablegen. Hierzu eignet sich aber auch sehr gut der dazugehriger Beistelltisch (ASIN B09WL5TVC1). Der Stuhl ist ordentlich schwer und kann gut bei Wind und Wetter drauen stehen.
Ich habe fr den Zusammenbau des Stuhls alleine etwa 90 Minuten gebraucht.
Vorwiegend werden hier Gewindeschrauben mit Imbuskopf verwendet. Alles passt optimal ineinander, aber wer den Stuhl alleine aufbaut hat Probleme das Gewicht des zu schraubenden Teils zu halten, die Schraube reinzudrehen und gleichzeitig die Mutter festzuhalten. Aus diesem Grund habe ich erst alles nicht direkt fest angezogen, sondern nur zusammengesteckt und leicht fixiert. Ganz zum Schluss, bis auf die letzte Leiste, habe ich alles fest angezogen. Das war wesentlich einfacher, weil ich das Gewicht nicht mehr halten musste. Die letzte Leiste wird mit vier Kreuzschrauben fixiert. Hier sind keine Lcher vorgebohrt und ich habe einen Akkuschrauber zu Hilfe genommen um die Schrauben zu versenken.
Vom Befestigungsmaterial ist nicht eine Schraube oder Unterlegscheibe brig geblieben. Das war hier auch nicht ntig, denn die Materialen sind einwandfrei und passen wie gesagt optimal.
Obwohl die Anleitung gut bebildert ist, habe ich an zwei Stellen sehr berlegen mssen wo mein Fehler liegt. Einmal war es die Richtung der Armlehne und einmal die Befestigung der “Scharniere”. Mit Logik bin ich dann doch noch meinen eigenen Fehlern auf die Schliche gekommen 😀
Was mir auffllt ist, dass der Stuhl, obwohl er aus Kunststoff besteht, wirklich sehr schwer ist. Ich als Frau mag ihn nicht alleine tragen. Deswegen wird er bei mir auch das ganze Jahr stehen bleiben. Es ist halt kein Stuhl fr mal eben wegrumen. Zudem kommt noch: ist er einmal zusammengeklappt ist es eine Wissenschaft und ein Kraftakt diesen wieder auseinander zu bekommen. Vielleicht wende ich auch nicht den Trick an, den es eventuell gibt. Wenn es einen gibt, wurde er nicht Preis gegeben, weder auf der Anleitung noch in der Produktbeschreibung oder den Produktbildern.
Durch den Kunststoff ist der Stuhl pflegeleicht und witterungsbestndig.
Dieser Adirondack-Stuhl ist aus Recyclingmaterial und wiegt dennoch fast zwanzig Kilogramm. Er ist sehr stabil und sogar zusammenklappbar. Da in unseren Breitengraden der Winter den Gartenmbeln zu schaffen macht, ist dies ideal, um den Stuhl einlagern zu knnen.
Der Aufbau mithilfe der Explosionszeichnungen ist in etwa einer Dreiviertelstunde erledigt. Man muss teilweise sehr genau hinsehen, aber es passt alles bestens. Einzig an der Verarbeitung des Materials an sich habe ich etwas auszusetzen. Teilweise sehen die Elemente aus, als habe jemand mit einem stumpfen Nagel darauf herumgedrckt. Es finden sich also kleine Dellen, die eben nicht so schn aussehen.
Der Stuhl ist super bequem. Die leichte Schrge nach hinten ist fr den Krper sehr entspannend. Allerdings erschwert das auch ein klein wenig das Aufstehen, doch das ist mit ein bisschen bung auch wieder einfach. Er ist der ideale Stuhl fr meinen Lieblingsplatz auf der Veranda. Die breiten Armlehnen sind gleichzeitig gute Ablageflchen fr ein Getrnk oder die Brille oder das Buch oder das Telefon.
Insgesamt eine schne, gute und preiswerte Alternative zu den noch schwereren und sehr viel teureren Adirondack-Sthlen aus Holz. Dennoch ziehe ich fr die kleinen Macken einen Stern ab, auch wenn das kleinlich aussehen mag. Vier Sterne!
Wish I’d bought a 2nd one! Good value for money
Wish I’d bought a 2nd one! Good value for money
This was an absolute ‘mare to put together and took me somewhere between 60 -90 minutes, which is ridiculous for one piece of furniture. My main problem was a mis-drilled hole on one of the arms that connects it to the leg, the hole was out by about 4 mill/ an eighth of an inch, so the connecting bolt would not go through. I tried forcing it at first without success so then decided to try enlarging the hole on the leg by drilling it out with a bigger drill bit but it’s a very dense plastic so when the drill started to overheat I gave up. Luckily, the matching(?) hole on the arm is on a batten which is screwed onto the underneath of the arm so I thought it would be easy to loosen off a couple of screws so the batten could move a few mill. Unfortunately, all the screwheads are square, unlike any screwdriver bit or allen key I own so that was a non-starter. I ended up pushing a wood chisel in between the batten and the arm rest and forcing open a gap so that the drilled hole moved into alignment with the one on the leg. The whole thing took me about 30 minutes but after that the rest of the assembly was awkward but reasonably straightforward, however I couldn’t help thinking that if you’re asking 150 for a self assembly chair the least you can do is get the bl##dy drill holes right.
Once assembled I have found it to be comfortable and sturdy with no problems coping with my (over) weight. I like the broad, flat, arms which are ideal for resting a book/Kindle/phone on and the cup/glass holder works well, being on the outside of the arm. It looks good and in terms of durability, unless the metal screws disintegrate, it strikes me as likely to outlive most things currently on the planet. However, it is heavy and very awkward to fold flat and so is likely to spend a lot of time outdoors

Had a couple of problems putting this chair together.
it’s straightforward with reasonable picture instructions and all the parts were present but one of the arm parts had been drilled in the wrong place so wouldn’t bolt on. The hole was not far out but near enough not to be able to drill another hole next to it.
Hubby eventually sorted it by enlarging the hole, I contacted the seller and they are sending a new part, should be in one or two weeks so I will be able to replace and the chair will be perfect. The rest was easy to put together with everything else fitting well.
The chair was simple to fold down, just pull out the pegs which enabled the chair back to be folded forward, no problem there but quite heavy to carry out to the garden, definitely won’t be blowing away in the wind.
I put it back up in the garden, simple mechanism but I found the pegs extremely difficult to locate, it has to be exactly right and I found myself having to put the chair on one side so I could see down the holes, even when they looked aligned the darn pegs wouldn’t go in it has to be exact. It took ages to finally fix the beggars in, it will only be folded down again in an extreme emergency, don’t want to go through that again, this could have been easily fixed if the pegs had been tapered then itgeywould aligned themselves.
In its favour is the fact that it is made of quality heavy material and has a stylish look similar to painted wood which feels like it’s going to stand the test of time.

Adirondack Resin Outdoor Chair
I’ve been looking for something like this as a single chair for a while now and
this suits me perfectly. Made of a weather proof resin it can be left out
in most weathers. Comes partly constructed with the back and seat then fit
the other sections to these. The instructions I thought were particularly
good with illustrations and all the nuts, bolts, screws etc including the
tools need numbered on one sheet. The items you still have to fit together
are lettered as well. I will say screwing some of the parts together took a
bit of power as the material is very dense.
Once constructed it is easy to fold flat. Take two pins out, lift the back slightly
and it naturally folds down to the floor. Just as easy in reverse.
It comes with a cup holder as well which is very easy to fit. I must admit
I left this off for just now.
This it a chair that will not be blown over as very solid and if windy, Just
lower it to the floor. All I need now are a couple of cushions and it
will be snoozing time.

This chair is reminiscent of chairs by swimming pools or on Ocean liners. Comfortable, and designed for relaxation. It is extremely well made of very high-density polyethylene and should withstand sunlight and rain for years to come while remaining easy to clean. It is very heavy. An excellent chair that will last and remain comfortable. It looks the part and is! Expensive but particularly good value in its quality of build and materials.

It is extremely well made of very high-density polyethylene and should withstand sunlight and rain for years to come while remaining easy to clean. It is very heavy. An excellent chair that will last and remain comfortable. It looks the part and is! Expensive but particularly good value in its quality of build and materials.
I was impressed when unpacking this chair as everything is clearly labelled and the instructions are in good English. It even comes with the necessary Allen keys and screwdriver to assemble. The instructions were fine to follow but look a bit confusing initially as there are multiple steps within each picture and if they’d been separated out it would have made it even simpler. Anyway, I didn’t have any trouble working out what goes where and everything fitted together well. The piece I left until last was the slat that goes across between the front legs under the seat. This screws into place but there are no pilot holes on legs. I found it impossible to get this to screw on flush despite several attempts and making my hands sore with the force needed on the screwdriver.
The instructions do say not to overtighten the screws however it’s the nuts and bolts that need to be a little looser as the chair pivots around these points as it folds. Although I thought I hadn’t done these overly tight, when trying to fold the chair the action was very stiff and I had to use a fair amount of force. I think this is because I did the nuts up too tightly. I also found it awkward to unfold again and the pins to hold it up did not want to lock back into place. I had to get a torch to shine through the holes to work out which way I needed to adjust the seat and arms in order to get it to lock as they have to lined up perfectly. This isn’t something I would want to fold and put away regularly and to be honest because of the size and weight I wouldn’t really be doing this anyway. The awkwardness of folding is acceptable if you’re only going to being doing it a couple of times a year to store over winter and the fact that it does fold at all sets it apart from many of the similarly designed chairs.
The plastic material looks pretty good and although it doesn’t have fake wood grain as such it is far removed from shiny moulded plastic and the slats are all screwed together so it does look fairly authentic.
The width of the seat of the chair seems quite generous to me but it is very low. If you have any mobility problems getting up from a chair this wouldn’t be a good choice at all. The leg room is OK for me but I’m only 5’4, my teenage son isn’t big at 5’8 but he found that he ended up having to stretch his legs out or having his upper legs off the chair if he had his knees bent to 90 degrees.
At first I was thinking I would buy another so I had a pair but I’m not convinced as I think it is a bit over priced and the issues outlined above have put me off. Also, in order to be comfortable you would need a cushion and the proper cushions for these chairs are 50+ so in all you’re looking at over 200 for a chair.

So comfortable my dog stole it lol
It didn’t take too long to build it was a little awkward to build.
On the arms I pushed the pin through to hold it in place then lined up the bolts this proved easier.
Everything is labelled and all the hardware provided. The screws, bolts etc came on a card making it easier to find when needed. It comes with a double ended screwdriver a spanner and 2 sizes of Allen key. When it came to The last piece however I needed to use my electric screwdriver/drill Which then took only a minute to apply.
The chair is extremely heavy on arrival luckily the delivery guy put it in the house for me.
Once built it isn’t much lighter but it is very sturdy. It feels very much like wood and I doubt if anyone wood (see what I did there hehe) think otherwise.
It is comfortable and great for reading a book in(and catching the last bit of sun as it heads to the front garden)
I really like the classic design of Adirondack chairs. I prefer the wooden ones, but in this climate, their life is very limited and they soon look shabby. This chair is a really good compromise in that although it’s white, the plastic has a textured finish which makes it look very different to the run of the mill garden furniture. It also feels soft.
This is a flat pack and it’s heavy. I asked for some help to build as I struggled to move the unopened box and was concerned that I may not be able to move the completed chair. I’d suggest you build as near as possible to the intended location; once built it looks stunning, but it’s quite cumbersome to lift and carry, even when folded. To fold, you have to remove the metal chain and bolt clips, but it doesn’t fold very flat.
It’s supplied with Allen keys and a little screwdriver so everything is there for the build. I have a cordless screwdriver with a fitment that is shaped like an Allen key and that was really useful. There are instructions which are fairly comprehensive and I laid out all the bits before starting. It took a while; about an hour and fifteen minutes and that was after opening the boxes and setting it all out. But it’s worth taking your time and getting everything well aligned and tight, I’m absolutely delighted with the finished chair. It looks amazing and it’s comfortable. It looks built to last many years and with it being plastic, it’s very easy to hose clean and wipe dry. Love it.

This chair arrived with all the tools and parts required to construct including alan keys and a screwdriver. It is very heavy, no chance of the wind moving this chair. It was quite easy to construct with very clear instructions. The chair is made of a HDPE resin but gives the appearance of wood. It has a traditional shape and will suit most gardens and patios. It is comfortable to sit on and even has a cup holder but would benefit from a cushion or two.It can be folded by removing the restraining pins but I will probably leave it in place all year as it is very heavy to move.
Quite expensive at 153 at time of this review but should be maintenance free and last a long time.
The chair comes with pretty good instructions and all the hardware on a sheet of card coated in plastic.
It took me 1hr 15min to put it together and I admit to resorting to using a drill to make pilot holes for the last piece “h” and a real screwdriver. I also removed the burrs on the back of “h” so it would lay flat on the chair legs.
Note that some of the bolts don’t want to be too tight as these form the hinges when you fold it up.
It has a cupholder but no option to fit it to the other chair arm for us left handed people. How much more would it have cost to make a threaded mounting hole in both arms?
I must admit during assembly thinking this is wood with a plastic coating and thus would start to rot in no time if left out. But no, it is some kind of recycled plastic so it should be okay outside.
The space between the two arm is a little tight when sitting down or getting up and I admit to having wide hips (see picture showing width).
It does not fold up very well and if stood on its side is lop sided and is better flat but then it nearly takes up as much space as in erected position.
It is quite heavy…
It is very easy to erect but folding it takes more effort to minimise the final size.
Would I get another one? I am not sure, the sitting position is quite low but comfortable and I will also keep an eye on the price.
First things first, box is heavy, so be prepared for that (it’s heavy and large, so a little awkward to move). I’m a standard chap I reckon (probably too many beers and pizzas though), and was able to man-handle it through the house. First pic is what comes out the box. Second pic is what comes out the box that was in the box (the small rectangle box is visible on the right of the first picture, with the red ribbon). The nuts and bolts were blister packed, but the numbers written on the pack were physically closer to the wrong hardware than the right ones, so just double check. It’s a strange material – it does look like wood, but feels like a cross between rubber and plastic (actually pleasant , not a bad thing). Instructions to put it together are OK at best. They have tried to fit a lot onto an instruction sheet, so the pictures have a lot on them, but nothing a DIY’er wouldn’t have seen before in flatpack, and think most could manage to put it together. It comes with all the tools you’ll need, and I used them from start to almost finish. They are good enough for the job – a couple of the tools you use once, so something for the manufacturers to think about i.e. two Allen keys when you use one size once, do a double ended one? I put it together on my own, but a helper would have made some stages a lot easier – the individual parts of this thing have some good heft to them, but can be difficult to hold in place at certain parts of the build stage. The biggest ‘frustration’ was the lack of pre-drilled holes at the very end stage. The included screwdriver got the screws in 80% of the way there, but I had to go for a proper tool to get it in at the end. Anyway build finished, it folds nicely and is fairly easy to carry on its flattened state. I had a bit of a problem relocating the metal pins that holds the legs in, but not a deal breaker (a little wiggling got them in). The only other thing that caught me out was when I sat in it. Comfort was ok, 7/8 out of 10 I reckon. No splinters of course. The back though, near the top, flexed. As the ‘planks’ here are vertical, it felt like there should be a brace put across the top (look the picture, the bit where your shoulders/head would go flexes (bends) backwards slightly, and independently. That bothered me a bit. Looks wise, I think it’s a good looking thing in real life. Manufacturers claims of anti rot and anti sun aging will have to be considered again after a season or two, but the material seems in good shape, and we’ll manufactured. Current price was 150 for the white one – I’d have been a lot happier at the 99 price range, and think it’s a chair that should last you well.
