These chairs are gorgeous.  They look better than pictured.  We ordered 3 for our kitchen bar.  The wood has an almost marbled print, so they match both light and dark wood furniture/accents.  They were relatively easy to put together.  The only part that took a little more time was putting the circle in the legs.  After being put together, he stood on one side (he's 6'6", 290lbs, and it didn't budge/bend/break).  The chairs swivel with effort, so they don't spin in circles easily.  I am thrilled
