 Feels flimsy August 10, 2010
Frahengeo (Beantown)
These chairs look nice, but feel a little flimsy. When I initially sat in them, I heard a few "cracks". Upon inspection, I cannot see any damage, but suspect that the "powder" coating at the weld points may have something to do with this. Also, beneath the cushion are aluminum slats that go side-to-side and after using these chairs for ~1 month, I noticed that the slats have a slight bow from my weight. I weight ~190lbs, so I fall within the capacity limits (250lbs) of these chairs. I felt that the rust-proof aluminum patio furniture would last, but I'm now a little concerned about the quality of materials and craftsmanship. I also own the Faulkner dining chair with arms and those feel a little more durable. I guess only time will tell.
 Great looking & sturdy! June 13, 2010

I bought this set because I was drawn to the style - very similar to sets I'd checked out at Pottery Barn, but about 1/3 the cost. WE LOVE IT!!!! SO glad we took the chance and bought it online. The cushions, as mentioned by another reviewer, are not as waterproof as they should be, so I took their advice and Scotchguarded them. 5 storms later, and they're doing just fine! Our friends and neighbors have all commented on the set, and asked where we got it. They arrived FAST, so that was nice, too. Easy set-up (The chairs were already assembled), and the table took us less than 15 min. As for the welding, which another reviewer mentioned was poor, it does not ruin the look, nor does it affect the stability of the pieces. I'm more inclined to think it gives them an artisan appeal. :)
Uncomfortable! January 7, 2009

We bought the entire Falkner Dining collection based on the good reviews. I will say that they are good looking on our patio, very durable, but, unfortunately, the chairs are very, very uncomfortable. The open back is the problem, if there were cushions for the backs, they would help. I actually bought some pillows for the backs, which are more comfortable to sit against, but bulky. Also, many forks, knives etc. fall through the open slats in the table. I don't think I would have bought this set if I knew the chair backs would be so uncomfortable.

I purchased both the dining set and the lounge set and am absolutely pleased with the quality and the price. The furniture is a solid weight and is made out of sturdy metal. I do wish the cushions came in other colors besides white as I have a young family and I am skeptical of it looking this nice for very long (I'm following another reviewer's advice and plan to apply ScotchGuard). If the light color is not a concern to you, I highly recommend this collection - it is very elegant and you will not be disappointed (packaged well with no assembly except for the dining table which was a bit tricky). And if you're even remotely thinking about getting the chaise lounge, I say splurge and treat yourself to the luxury - everyone deserves a special place to sit and relax like that! You won't regret it... I promise.
Great chairs for the price. May 29, 2007

I've been searching for new outdoor dining chairs and most of the decent ones start at about $99 each and, as the previous reviewer pointed out, the cushions are extra. So even the base price of these chairs is good but since I have Amazon Prime I didn't pay any shipping and of course there's no tax so they're an even better bargain.
I got them one day after ordering and we used them last night. They are just as nice looking as they appear to be in the pictures and seem pretty sturdy. We left the cushions out through the weekend, which included a lot of rain, and they still look perfectly new. I ordered 4 and I'm now tempted to order two more.
