My 24-year old dining room chairs had seen better days, but I needed to keep the table (contemporary decor).  We don't use our dining room very often, but recently repainted and put in hardwood floors.  And with a holiday party looming in the near future, we really needed to replace the chairs.  Just wanted something fairly inexpensive, but also comfortable and contemporary.  These chairs fit the bill.  My husband was able to put them together with relative ease, though one chair (I got 6) was pretty wobbly, especially noticeable on a wood floor.  But those felt pads that keep the chairs from scratching up the floors did the trick.  We just used an extra one on the leg of the wobbly chair.  No more wobble.  The chairs do look good and are comfortable, so it would seem that we got a very good value.

Pros: Great value, easy assembly, comfortable
Cons: Don't expect perfection at this price, but still very good.
