A little lighter than expected and the finish could be better - there were some unsightly stains on one of the pieces which I turned around - so that instead revealed the back which has 2 screw holes. The assembly required a little thought and examination of the pieces, but after I assembled one, the rest went quickly. The fit was pretty good for all four chairs. Felt pads for the feet were included in the hardware and no pieces were missing. Overall, I'm quite satisfied. All furniture that require assembly will require re-tightening of screws after a year or so, but time will tell if the chairs will last.
