Nice and sturdy.  Took about an hour to put together two chairs. After putting them both together they were a little off level-so I loosened the screw under the seat and applied a lot of pressure when reinserting the screws.  This seemed to re-level them.  I was disappointed that the wood is actually a red cherry stain not brown/mahogany like it appears in the picture online.  That is why I gave them four stars.  They do not match my other woods like they would have if they were a mahogany stain.  The packaging was adequate but they arrived in 5 days instead of the 2 day shipping as promised.
