The chairs seem nice and sturdy.  They glide on the floor easily because of the plastic protectors on the feet.  One chair came with a little dent in the wood, and the craftsmanship shows lots of inconsistencies.  They are lighter than the picture, which was a little disappointing.  They almost seem unfinished, and the wood in some areas isn't smooth.  I like the style and the issues weren't enough for me to send them back.
