Great value for the money. The chairs are nice-looking, but the tufted edges of the upholstery aren't always nicely done. If it bothers you after you receive the chairs, you may want to use fabric glue on these areas. But who's going to look near the bottom of the seat? The seats are very comfortable and sturdier than I would have thought. Assembly time: about 45 for both chairs (with 1 person). It is not necessary to have someone else to help. Assembly instructions are easy to follow. If the wood legs have a few nicks, they can always be touched up with a stain-pen (found at hardware stores). I would definitely buy these chairs again  - they are less than half the price of what I've seen on sale.
