For the money these chairs are a great buy. They are not of the highest quality, but again, they're an absolute bargain. The quality surpasses what you'd expect at this price point, but don't expect the quality of a $400+ dining chair you see in furniture stores. I purchased 8 of these for my dining room. They are true to color (light grey fabric and black legs) and look exactly as shown in the pictures. Assembly for 8 of them took me about 2 hours. The packaging they are shipped in was very protective, and all the chairs arrived undamaged.
