These chairs (I got oatmeal) seemed like good quality at first glance. They're sturdy, were fairly simple to put together (and I did it alone)... I was just disappointed, however, in the finishing touches. As you can see in one of the photo, the chairs (all 4 of them) had dangling strings, frayed edges, etc. I wish these had been cleaned up a bit more. Also, the black velcro bottom covers didn't all fit right... when re-adhered after removing legs/tools and attaching the legs - some were too big and buckled, hanging over the edge and can be seen. And some were cut crooked and didn't match up with the legs, etc. Overall, I am satisfied with end results - I spent a good couple of hours trimming strings and recutting velcro... and got them too be acceptable. Just hadn't anticipated all that extra labor on my part!
