The pieces of the chairs didn't actually fit together. Luckily, we had the equipment to force them together. Also, when putting it together (the portions that fit together) we also had issues with some of the screws being stripped/getting stripped. This is especially troublesome considering it appears to be a weight bearing joint. It seems to be working okay, but I don't know how long these will last. Don't know that I would suggest anyone else buy the product, honestly. They're very expensive to not fit together.
