Nice heavy patio furniture and milling
Nice patio furniture and milling--the table is solidly built, the chairs heavy and wide. I did have trouble fitting a couple of the seats to the frame--the solution was to interchange seats and frames. I strongly recommend a quality USA made dead blow hammer for tapping the pieces together. Another issue I encountered was the the countersunk holes in the seats had small screws in them, no idea why but difficult to remove. I felt the supplied screws for attaching the seats to the frame could have been at least a size larger--pretty easy to strip the phillips head with a power drill. The supplied wooden pegs should be reduced in length by 1/3 and then tapped in with the freshly cut side out, making for a more flush surrface requiring no filler. Use the small bottle of stain to darken the cut end. This is very nice heavy patio furniture. (Be sure to match the numbers before assembly.) I chose 4 stars vs. 5 stars for the aforementioned constructive criticism.

Hi Bradley I do understand what you are saying regarding assembly and have passed on your comments to the factory to see if there is any way they can improve it. Those Java chairs are just too big to ship assembled which would be our preference if it was possible. We do appreciate you having taken time to leave the review, it is helpful to other customers.
