As I started my response, I noticed that you're address is in the UK,
and I don't know anything about shopping in the UK. I do, however, like
to blab away, so I kept going.

Last year I needed to buy a patio set here in the US. I went around to
all the discount stores, the one-stop shopping stores, the department
stores with hard goods, and Costco. I even shopped online.

Most of what I found in the stores looked good, but was constructed
poorly. Given that, I decided not to buy online unless it was exactly
something I've examined in person.

At Costco, they had the least robust selection. I believe that there
were a total of three sets there. However, all three were really well
constructed and comfortable. They were also a bit pricey, and even
though it was the beginning of the warm weather season, two weeks later,
the Costco I went to was sold out, and they were preparing for the next
season in the seasonal goods area.

I later saw an ad for a furniture store 40 miles away that bragged about
their selection of patio furniture. But by the time they were
advertising, even K-Mart was almost sold out of patio furniture.

Warren,

I just purchased two Adirondack Chairs from Summerseat. As far as the
quality issue goes, Summerseat has a lifetime guarantee, so I would
assume they are fine. Hope this helps. Oh, the also feature a new chair
each month and they are having a winter sale right now of 50% off an
adirondack chair. Cheers!

Russ must also dig people up on election day to vote??? This is a
little far fetched. The message could be posted once if it was true and
stand on its own. Obviously it isn't and won't. This might be a
legitimate company, but he has casted doubt on its character by such
tactics.
