The plastic is actually a good insulator somehow. The color is perfect (weathered wood) very happy with teal color.

The instructions are worse than hieroglyphics on a cave wall. The screws strip out easy and the screw on the pegs were loose and one was missing on the 2 we have assembled so far.

The chair is disappointing. According to directions bolts were missing. The plastic material loosens quickly every time you sit in it. These are also quite expensive in retrospect making them even more disappointing.
