These are great chairs for the price.  They are definitely sturdy and not flimsy.  I was pleasantly surprised.  Also, I noticed in other reviews that people complained about how difficult these chairs were to put together.  I couldn't disagree more.  These chairs were very easy to put together as long as you have a drill.  If you are only relying on the allen wrench that comes with the chairs, then it will take you quite a bit of time to put together.  I would definitely buy these again.
