Ordered 6 of these to go with a custom table I am building for our new home. Chairs arrived packaged very well and I was able to put them together in around 1.5 hours. They are very easy to assemble and level and require very little sanding before staining or painting. In my paticular case I am staining the chairs and the wood these are made out of does a great job at accepting stain evenly over the surface of the chair without getting blotchy. Overall I am very pleased with this purchase.
