I would recommend these chairs but there were a few issues with mine. The holes for the screws weren't completely drilled out which caused some of the wood to split when assembling. We re-drilled the remaining holes to avoid the problem. The brass screws also strip really easily. The chairs are pretty but they are also big; check dimensions carefully. They are comfortable but have a tall seat height so if you're under 5'7" you might want to choose another design.
