These chairs were fairly easy to put together. They make a lot of noise when moving in them. I think it’s the plastic rubbing against the metal. The back rest of the seat feels a little weak. As if you can’t lean all the way back. After having them for a week, the back of the seat has proven to be sturdy. I think the sound mixed with the little give the back has makes it hard to discern if it’s a reliable sturdy seat but I think their going to be fine.  They’re so pretty to look at. Very clean and unique appearance.
