These seem to be good quality, heavy chairs, nice-looking, great color and heft, no issues assembling other than having to cut about 1/16" off of one "board" on one pre-assembled leg so it would fit as it was supposed to. Yes, the pre-drilled holes are tight, and need to be; you have to screw in the screws, not just slip them in and put the washer/nut on the other end (no reason to enlarge the holes like some said they did). Get a good 10mm nut driver and toss the little wrench they give you, unless you want assembly to take twice as long. Hint: Pound the locking pins in with a small mallet as you are attaching the legs to the seat, then rotate the piece to line up the screw holes and attach the screws. This review based on initial impression, hoping there are no issues.
