I wish I took the reviews seriously about the chairs being unaligned, especially the screws attaching the seat to the backrest. Considering this set's cost, I expected it to be high quality, but not just one, but ALL the chairs were defective and needed to be fixed. I'm surprised they didn't do a test before mass production because now consumers are paying such a high price for defective products. I would return, but reading other people's return nightmares makes it even more depressing. Just be aware when you decide to purchase this set.
