Very nice, substantial chairs. Material is nice but darker than pictured.  It's more like a burlap, not linen, which is fine. I'm hoping that's better and will hold up well in the kitchen area. Assembly isn't difficult if the holes line up.  One chair took well over an hour trying to manuever around the misalignment.  I almost sent it back but was determined to give it my best shot and finally got it together.  Looks great with the table.
