The ones that were on display outside from the beginning are scuffed up pretty bad with a lot of areas with chips falling off.
A decent deal for a wooden Muskoka chair but you may need to be very careful with them.
These have been this price in Orleans for a few weeks. Definitely NOT anywhere near the quality of Costco...in fact, I probably would not recommend these for sitting, ornamental display use only. The wood is fiberboard so I imagine it will soak up water once the outer casing is breached.aquariaguy wrote: ↑ is this same quality as the costco ones? no frills and quality don't really go together lol.
There is no way they'd make outdoor furniture out of MDF, it'd be ruined almost immediately. They are likely cheapo pine. I bought a few of these years ago for like $25 at RCSS, they were crap. Made out of thin pine that stared to crack and warp and peel the first summer. Looked pretty though, but never trusted sitting on them really. These are likely similar. I'd say save your money.dogbolter wrote: ↑ These have been this price in Orleans for a few weeks.

I gave this deal a pass..
Dang that does look like a piece of crap. Worst than IKEA.dogbolter wrote: ↑ Here is a photo I took for my wife. there is no woodgrain or knots etc. If you download it and zoom into the screw holes you can see that it is some sort of composite material.
Regardless, if you look at the thickness of the legs you can see that it would not safely support much more than 100 pounds.
Hey hey easy there...some of Ikea's stuff is crappy, yes. But some of their good stuff, is REALLY good and very well priced. #ikea4lifewhenitsgoodstuffaquariaguy wrote: ↑ Dang that does look like a piece of crap. Worst than IKEA.
Yeah, those are not the same as the ones that I bought. Mine folded and were definitely made out of solid pine. And they still sucked. I see what you are saying about the screw holes, it doesn't appear to be a solid wood, although it is hard to tell by that picture. I can not for the life of me though, understand the logic of using some type of MDF for use in something that is supposed to be outside! I mean, its basically thick paper for God's sake. That sawdust will soak up water like a sponge and buckle and swell. And those legs don't look very solid. Its like making chair legs out of MDF trim moulding!dogbolter wrote: ↑ Here is a photo I took for my wife. there is no woodgrain or knots etc. If you download it and zoom into the screw holes you can see that it is some sort of composite material.
