I guess you get what you pay for.  These were a nightmare to put together. Two of the spindles split when I screwed them in, most of the spindles on one chair are rattly (yes, it's tighlyt together), one of the nuts was stripped so the base of one chair is a little noisy, the seat back are very upright and I'm just not convinced they will hold up.  They are cute though and match my table, which had only benches.
