I read reviews prior to ordering. Noticed a lot of complaints about holes not aligning up. Came across one review that stated if you keep all screws loose until complete that aligning the holes are easy. Absolutely not! I ordered 4 chairs. Three out of the four have a piece missing because I was not able to align. Took brute force and 2 of us to get the last couple holes aligned and that was with everything loose and able to manipulate. Beautiful chairs, but sloppy work by the manufacturer.
