These chairs look great when assembled; I was worried when I looked at the seat cushions before assembly - the cloth seemed damaged -- and there are imperfections.  I am using these at a breakfast nook and they won't get a lot of use.  If they had been primary dining room chairs, I would have probably sent them back.  Husband had a very hard time getting them assembled but eventually won the war.  For what I paid and where I'm using them I'm happy.  If they are going to be a primary dining chair for someone, I wouldn't advise getting these but on the other hand, they do look nice where I'm using them.
