Good quality sturdy chair.  No problems putting them together, (I glued them as well). We ordered the unfinished chair so we could try and match our new island.  I'm not sure what type of wood it is, but it doesn't give a "fine furniture" look after staining - more of a rustic look (uneven color and texture of wood).  Jury is still out whether I just paint them or keep the rustic finish.

Pros: Great value, appear to be good quality.
Cons: Difficult to achieve a good even finish when staining.
