Morgan Hill, CARated 4 out of 5 stars September 21, 2015
The chair is good for the price compared to other similar chairs, but be warned that the wood quality is a bit mediocre. I received a light natural teak sample chip directly from Caluco, the manufacturer, and the chairs are a bit darker and oilier/waxier feeling and do not match. I have some other new teak furniture that these go with from a different manufacturer which came with a lighter, smoother finish, but I will observe that the grain on those raised after a very, very light drizzle and overnight fog whereas the Caluco chairs were not similarly affected. Maybe the Caluco wood is just denser material, or it's the drying process - who knows. The other odd thing is that the cushion doesn't attach to the frame and in fact has a tendency to slip and slide as one scoots in and out while sitting on it. I would have preferred bolts or something from Caluco, but maybe they have their reasons that I'm just not getting at first glance. I would definitely not pay anywhere near the full retail price Caluco is asking, but the CozyDays price is reasonable. The chairs themselves are quite large (both the seat height and area of the seat) and work perfectly for my application at an outdoor dining table. Good service from CozyDays. These are drop-ship from Caluco, so don't believe the "in stock" label on the website; they may or may not be delayed (and mine were, for two months, though they ultimately shipped earlier than that so they were only really one month delayed).
