The seats on these chairs are kind of strange. The size and the way they are put together makes it so there is a large gap between the back of the chair and the beginning of the seat. It makes them less comfortable and particularly difficult to sit up straight. Also, they are deceivingly difficult to put together and I say that as a person who enjoys projects and putting things together. The pieces don't line up very well which makes it very difficult to make simple attachments. Finally, They came missing several pieces. No screws, wooden dowels or L brackets that the directions indicated were included.
