Bought 2 of these chairs. They are even better than expected. They are solid, well made chairs. As other reviews have noted, the color is darker than the product photos suggest, but I wanted them darker anyway. I assembled both of them in a little over an hour total. Some people complained that the holes don't line up for assembly. All you need to do is assemble in the order outlined in the directions, but only insert and get the bolts started into the receiving holes. Leave them all loose, as that will allow the rest to line up easily, then tighten everything up. And I love how they look. I need a firm seat, so they are comfortable for me too.
