We purchased these chairs to replace kitchen chairs chewed by our almost year old Labrador.  We didn't want to pay to much fearing the chewing might happen again but wanted to have something nice and presentable in our kitchen.  We purchased 4 chairs and are very happy with the quality.  The chairs came fully assembled in just 3 days!  There was a imperfection in the paint on one of the chairs that was not worth complaining about considering the price and free shipping.  So far, our dog has not chewed these chars....very happy!
