We're looking to possibly purchase this set, but would like to know if the height's adversely affected by adding a 3 -4" thick seat cushion?

No we use a 4 inch cushion and it works well -make sure that the cushion is as wide as the seat plus 1 inch witch will hold it in place

The table and chairs are very nice and I don't think a three inch cushion would cause a problem.

My wife has been looking for cushions for these chairs and feels that they wouldn't adversely affect the height. The chairs are quite comfortable even without the cushions.

The cushions are just a bit over 3" thick. They are very comfortable and well made.

I have never had a problem with seat. We must have adjusted it to my comfort level - I have not had to redo it. Unfortunately I can not remember what we did to change the height. I would have remembered if it was a problem. Don't hesitate to call Amazon - they will guide you through talking with the Store that sold it. Hope this helped.

Hi, the seat height was a comfortable 18 - 20 inches high depending on whether the cushion was used or not. The depth was fine. We had a crowd of friends sitting on our deck before a family wedding and no one complained... about the chairs.

It should work just fine. It is approximately 3" thick and will add height to your seating because, even after sitting on it for a while, it does not compress much.

Honest answer. We have some friends that exceed 250 pounds that have sat on them for extended periods and haven't had any structural issues. That being said long term use for someone over 300+ may have an impact since they are cast aluminum. (I believe that may be the manufacturer's weight limit) Also the cushions are significantly compacted once they've sat on them. This isn't necessarily a bad thing but wanted to point it out.

the seat height is adjustable, the height of the cushion is negligible unless one buys for some crazy research.

If you look at the product dimensions you'll see the measurements. I'm not sure it's made to have a cushion on top though. There is nothing to keep the cushion intact and it's already tall so a cushion might make it inaccessible for some.

My Wife found a loveseat cushion set at Overstock.com that fits very well. I just looked it up and the loveseat cushion is 42" X 19" X 4.5", and the set comes with 2 other chair cushions. When I looked there were several patterns to choose from. Not very expensive. The other reviewer is correct, a 48" would be too big. I just took a quick look at Amazon and it looks like they might have several also. Just have to check the length to make sure they are 42" long. The bench is very good. The cushion stores in it when not in use.

Kathleen, the table and chairs are good quality. I initially had some hesitation after buying a "big box" store set that lasted me only a few years. I feel this CBM set will be around much longer. I'm 6'0'' 160# and I find that the chairs are comfortable with or without the cushions. Note that adding cushions will elevate you about 2 inches. My girlfriend can sit in the chairs for a while without the cushions but prefers them. Assembly was fairly straightforward with 2 people. Armrests are a nice level for me and I find the chairs comfortable overall. Finally, the weight of the set and the design allow them to be firmly in place and not likely to blow around on the patio. I hope this helps. Kathleen, the table and chairs are good quality. I initially had some hesitation after buying a "big box" store set that lasted me only a few years.

You probably already know that they say no thicker than 3.5 inches. I think you may be 1/2 inch to thick. Why don't you call the company and get more exact information. You certainly do not want the chair to fail by increasing the depth to a measurement that they don't recommend. Hope this helps. Note: My son and my daughter both use this chair and highly recommend this chair to their friends. Take Care.

The seat is not height adjustable. Putting a thick wheelchair cushion on the seat is a must. I am 6 ft 3 in and used the chair for transport with leg rest on and had no trouble even though I am quite a bit too fat for the weight limit on the chair. My wife is 5 ft 10 and uses the chair daily for her kitchen chores.Chair is quite well built for the price. The only cheap part is the arm covering

Chairs are ok without cushions, but sit about 3" low and obviously harder seats without cushions, since they are really designed FOR cushions. Assembly is very easy. Chairs come fully assembled and table legs go on with about 8 bolts. Hardest part is unwrapping -- they come very well wrapped in foam and shrink wrap. Very happy with our set. Great quality.

These are not high back chairs - I just measured 18" - that leaves about 14" left for the back. If that is comfortable for you, fine. I am short, 5'2", so an additional 4" takes my feet off of the deck! I agree with you as far as having good cushions for hard cast aluminum furniture. Makes it a lot more comfortable for "bony butts". I cannot sit on these chairs without comfortable cushions. The set is beautiful and I love it! Enjoy!

I don't know how Tomson got his to 33", but I just received one of these stools (I ALSO have a 48" bar) and there's NO WAY IN THIS WORLD it adjusts up to 33". The maximum seat height on the set I purchased was 30" (and that includes the 2" thick stool cushion) and when you sit down on the stool, it drops at LEAST another inch. I have requested a return for the stools I ordered and would not recommend these if you are expecting a 33" stool height. You will be disappointed as I was.

These are authentic "rushed" chairs and I love them. They have corner mounts underneath so I would say you could attach a cushion if you wanted. Hope this helps!

The same size cushion as you would use on a dining chair would work, but I have also set these out in inclement weather with no cushion at all, and they are not bad that way. Recently we had 60 MPH winds that took down our fence & blew our chairs across the yard. Picked them back up, wondering if they were still usable, and apart from being a bit damp and dirty, they were fine.
