These chairs are absolutely stunning - the velvet is soft and beautiful and the seat is very comfortable. However, these are next to impossible to put together! I purchased two sets of these, and was only fully able to assemble one chair.  The dowels and screws pull away from the chair legs as you screw them in, so they are not a tight fit.  The screws also don't go in all the way, we even tried pre-drilling holes  (so now I need to find a way to conceal them so that pants and feet don't get caught on the screw heads!).  I needed to order (and still waiting) on replacement parts because the legs and cross bars aren't well made or pre-drilled well. Wayfair has awesome customer service though - so I am thankful for them!  All in all, these are beautiful chairs but I wouldn't order again as they are too much of a hassle to put together.
