We bought these chairs for the outside of our bakery.  We got the dark stained wood.  Although there is a chip on one of the arms it's not so bad.  Each one took me about 20 min to assemble.  They are very cute and seem somewhat sturdy.  I do fear that if someone over 200 LBS sits on it, it could possibly crack, since the wood is on the lighter side.  Time will tell.  Overall, we love them.
