T&L Adirondack Chair

Beautiful Chairs, Terrible Instructions

If this is repetitive, please forgive me. The written (paper) instructions for assembling the chair are terrible, the worst for any domestically-produced product I have ever seen. The narrative and photos are both unhelpful; I challenge anyone to put together this chair using just the instructions given. You would be much better off just trying to figure it out yourself, as I expecet many people do. The YouTube video is better, and gives you enough visuals to figure things out and make it work. But it omits so many obvious questions that someone who had not assembled this chair before would have, that it is maddening. It would ahve been so easy to do a focus group of one person - just give him the chair and the instructions and video, and listen to his comments. But obviously no one bothered to do this.

High quality

Good looking chair when put together. I can see how some folks will be challanged by the instructions and assembly. I'm fairly handy, so it wasn't a problem. Overall I'm pleased with the quality of the wood, and the fit and finish.

Adirondack chairs

We are currently working with Tabatha to resolve a quality issue. All four chairs we received had defects. Some had marks like a hole where the drill tip Dented. Some pieces had a deep gouge in the wood. And several pieces were not sanded and had machine marks on them. We are working with an interior designer who suggested we get four Adirondack chairs and have them painted we ordered these T&L unstained chairs as they were not available at our local store. The issue is pending as Tabatha has reached out to the manufacturer I wish I could give them more positive review at this time. Charming Bench personnel are very receptive. I see the comment below about the foam yes that was very concerning to my husband and we had to pay $35 to dispose of all the packaging. Shipping was free so I guess we paid for shipping
