I really like the chairs and table. The paint is very thin and wood shows through somewhat. The only real complaint I have is the screws holding the chair back to the arms at the top.  I ended up having to drop out the n holes so I could get the screws in all the way without stripping them.  A REAL. PAIN. now that the assembly nightmare is over, I really like the chairs and they are well made, all the pieces fit well and the directions were quite good.
