The chairs are a good value and look great when they are assembled. However, it was challenging. We ordered five sets of 2 and had to return two sets because they were damaged due to inadequate packing protection and rough treatment by the carrier. When assembling, we found that the holes in the wood frame didn't align with the metal threads in the back cushion, so it took a wood drill, careful wood boring, and three times the expected time to assemble them.
