The chairs are great and fit into the sleek design of my daughter's table complimenting her other two more ornate padded beige chairs. Yet she sent me a picture showing that high up on one of the legs there was a dent with scratches, exposing the lighter wood underneath the paint . She will have to paint over it so it isn't noticeable . For the price I suppose you cannot expect perfection but it would have been nice not to have noticeable damage on a new chair. The integrity of the chairs is intact, though.
