They look really nice, especially for the price, I have to agree with most comments though, horrible to put together, not sure if mine are defective, the stretchers are super awkward and I've tried every way I can think for them to fit properly. If I ever finish getting them together I'm sure they'll serve their purpose but getting there is obviously going to be a battle. The pieces are smooth though, not scratchy which I was a bit worried about reading reviews, looks like I got lucky on that part, just not the stretchers.
