Review of Strathwood Folding Armchair, Set of 2

I bought these Strathwood chairs and a matching bistro table about 7 months ago. I've oiled one, and left the other and the table unoiled for comparison. I'll let the video do the talking. Literally. :)

Product Description:
Drink in the sunset from your balcony or patio with this set of folding armchairs from Strathwood, which can be paired with a bistro table that's perfect for meals for two. The chairs are made of kapur, a dense and highly durable hardwood from Southeast Asia (primarily Indonesia and Malaysia). The kapur has a fine-sanded, oil-stained finish in a warm, mahogany brown tone. Rivaling teak for strength and resistance to weather and insects, kapur is ideal for outdoor use. Left untreated, it will weather to a soft, warm shade of gray similar to that of weathered teak.

The chairs have a slatted seat and back, with a slightly tilted angle on the back for maximum comfort. The sturdy, rust-resistant mortise-and-tenon joinery construction will last for many years. Each chair, when unfolded, measures 21 inches wide, 24 inches deep, and 36 inches high. The chairs come ready to use; no assembly required.
Before shipment, your new furniture will receive a generous application of teak oil, which provides protection from ultraviolet light. If you prefer to prevent the kapur from weathering, you may apply additional coats of teak oil. How often you'll need to apply teak oil will depend on the intensity of the sun in your environment, but typically, one or two coats per year is sufficient. Teak oil can usually be found at a marine dealer or hardware store, or through an Internet merchant. If you allow your furniture to weather, you may later decide that you want to restore it to its original condition. This is possible using teak-cleaner products, also available at most marine dealers or through Internet merchants. After following the instructions for cleaning, you will want to apply a coat of teak oil to prevent the weathering process.
