Although when completed it looks classy, don't look too close!  The quality is not there. It took forever to assemble because, as another buyer observed, you should NOT tighten any screws too tight until the back is on. On the second chair I ordered, the screw holes were waaayyyy off and had to drill a new hole. It also does not say to glue the wooden dowel...yes you should!  I doubt these are going to last long, but as they are more for company and will be rarely used, perhaps 2-3 years? I expected more.
