They are exactly as described. Very happy with them. My only complaint is that one of them ( out of 4) was slightly defective. Discovered during assembly that two pre drilled holes didn't line up with the leg piece that corresponds. We had to go buy a special drill bit to make the hole 1/8" larger so we could get the bolt through both pieces. The crossbars that connect the two leg pieces also were very difficult to screw in on every chair. We ended up making small pre drill holes to make it a bit easier. They do sit very very well and feel solid.
