Considering these chairs for a paver, firepit area in Florida. Just wondering if the months of humidity will effect the wood over time Carol T.

We have recently contacted the manufacturer about our chairs, which after one season have started to rot on bottom of legs. Lakeland Mills has asked us for pictures of the damage, which we have not yet sent. The chairs were on dirt under pine trees. Not the same situation as yours, but similar. Info with the chairs said that cedar is naturally resistant to rot...and we may "be assured of many years of useful service."

these hold up very well--we have them outside in North Carolina where we get nearly 100 inches of rain each year. I recommend Olympic toner/water sealer if you like a wood color, otherwise they will grey over time. Regardless, the chairs hold up beautifully with or without the sealer--only difference is the color.

I got these chairs to put at our firepit in CT and love them. I do recommend that you put a coat of sealant on the chairs for protection...the material is sort of unfinished.

I got 4 for my place in Montana and was really impressed. Well made, easy to put together. Suggest some construction adhesive in the joints as you put it together and it'll be solid for many years. I don't think you'll have a problem with humidity and it's nice to see they're made in the US. I think I got mine for 99/prime shipping.

Sorry, I can't seem to find the information when I made the purchase. What I can say is that I've had them for 2 summers now. I do cover them with furniture plastic during the winter seasons in California. Our temperature range anywhere from 104 F to 23 F (summer & winters). So, far they appear to be holding up well. I'm very pleased with the esthetics and lightweight material. Good luck!

I bought them for indoor use, dining room table, chairs, and bar stools, all sitting on hard wood floor. They have been excellent for 6 months, none have come off. Uncertain if they are suitable for outdoor use.

We have these chairs on our lanai in Florida. I do bring them in when the weather is severe. They have held up well through intense heat. No discoloration.

I live near the coast of NJ and have had the chairs for several years now. I keep them outside and covered from End of Oct thru Mar/Apr. I have never had a problem.

I have only had these 2 chairs for a month and they set out in the direct sun (100+ degrees) and rain. The type of fabric used dries quickly after the rain and I believe they are perfectly fine for all weather. I am bringing mine inside for winter.

Quite a bit if it's outside in the sun etc. but not to the ground if that's what your wondering. I have 4 boys and lot's of friends sitiing in those chairs and they last about a year being outside all year arounbd. Hope that helps!

Hey sorry I haven't been cheking my emails lately. The chair itself is durable, just make sure you tighten those screws. As for using the chair outside where there is water, personally I won't do that. I bought this chair for aesthetic reasons for a mid century home in Palm Springs. Again, I cannot tell whether this is durable outside, but for inside use, it is not bad at all.

That wouldn't be a problem at all. I wouldn't leave it outside 24/7 in the sun and everything for days on end, but I would see no problem with it being outside. In fact our deck chairs are a bit wider than our dining room table chairs, so it'd probably be even more stable(not that it's a problem at all tho!)

Yes chairs are a resin wicker which is water proof but the cushions are "weather resistant". You cant consider them water proof unless they don't retain any water when fully submerged.

The four of these chairs I bought at Costco took paint beautifully. I sanded the edges a bit. Because I painted them before assembly as the pieces came out of the box, I did not do much prep work at all. I used spray cans of Rustoleum paint that are specifically for plastic. Each chair was painted a different color. White, black, grey and brilliant yellow have all lasted very well for over a year. These chairs live outdoors in snow, rain, scorching sun and temperatures as high as 100 degrees. No problems at all.

I use my chairs on a stone patio by the pool. I also use them on a mat that is made of recycled plastic. I do think if adults use them on cedar board decking that you will have an indentation mark on the decking surface. Not sure that it would be terribly noticeable. I suppose that would depend on the cedar, the persons weight, and how much the chair is moved around.

It does get kind of hot if you sit too far back in the umbrella, But I moved our chairs out just enough so we would have good ventilation and it helped a lot. This is a review given from Sunny, Hot, Humid, South Florida just so ya know :)

I live in San Diego. Our patio furniture is outside year round. The chairs that decayed first were the ones in the sun every day. Now the ones that have been under the patio cover all the time are decaying. DO NOT BUY!

I had no idea, but my 240lb guy sits on them and so far, so good. I live in the Florida Keys and the chairs are outside in the direct sunlight every single day and they are in perfect condition. The woven material is not sagging or breaking. I think they are very strong and well made.

We have had the set for about 8 weeks. It is on an uncovered patio near a pool. There is a metal bar on the back of the chairs about 8 inches from the top of the fabric. My guess is they are not aluminum as the chair frames are supposed to be. They started to exhibit a slight bit of rust on a few chairs by the welds on these bars. We bought some black rustoleum spray paint and that took care of the problem. Not sure what you mean by weather proof. They dry very quickly after being rained on.

I leave mine outside and they dry fast after being in the rain. I have the red cushions and I have been disappointed with the colorfastness of them. They appeared to have faded after only a few months in the sun. Otherwise, the furniture has been great.
