The grain is inconsistent and rough in certain places, but the seats are nice and wide so they feel nice to sink into. They are a little light weight though which isn't ideal for me, but it might be a benefit depending on what you're looking for. Lastly, the assembly isn't great. Things don't fit together as nicely as you would hope and the screws strip very easily. 

Well worth the price, but we'll probably upgrade these chairs before almost any other upgrade in our space. If you have the extra bucks, I would buy something a little nicer.
