I bought 4 of these chairs about a month ago now and I would have to say that they are worth every penny I paid. The instructions were very easy to understand as all bolts and other pieces are lettered and then the picture diagram shows what lettered parts go where, the seats are padded better than I had expected making them very comfortable for long periods if time, and they seem really sturdy so far. I would have to say, if you are considering these chairs, look no farther, these are worth more than what you are paying for them.
