These chairs are comfortable and do the job.  If I waited a little longer to purchase, I might have seen some of the recent negative reviews about the installation process and thought twice.  As other reviewers said, installation was really annoying.  The 2-step instruction sheet is rather useless, and you have to just look at the pieces like a puzzle and use some logic to figure out exactly how it should go.  Once you figure out one, you're good to go. Some screws didn't go in all the way due to improper alignment of the pieces and the metal was a little warped in some places. Also, one of the chairs had scratch marks on the arms, which is really annoying when you're purchasing a brand new product.  I'm keeping these becase overall I like the way they look and can't be bothered to return them, but I don't think I'd recommend.  If you're ok with paying a little more, get a better quality product.
