These chairs look very attractive from a distance, but there were imperfections in the finish. Not enough for me to return, but enough to mildly annoy. They were smallish ands light-weight as opposed to the patio furniture from the 1950's that they are modeled after. The box recommends assembly by two persons and I agree ... not because anything was particularly difficult, but it's awkward to hold everything in place at the right angles when threading a bolt through the appropriate holes. The first chair took me quite a while to figure out how to do it. There second much less time as I became an experienced assembler. If possible I would have rated it 3 1/2 stars, but chairs were inexpensive and they are a fun design ... available in several fun colors.
