I like the chairs and believe they are the right value for the money. But when we put them together (following the directions exactly) they were all extremely unbalanced. In some cases nearly an inch off and they were so wobbly we couldn't safely sit in them. We were able to loosen the bolts, have someone sit in the chair and retighten them to get them balanced abut 90% of the way. I did end up adding self-leveling felt feet to the bottoms the chair which both protects my floor and allows us to ensure they stay stable.
