Purchased four in total.  No defects.  Pretty easy to assemble.  One out of the four was a little more difficult to put together due to the pre-drilled holes in the base of the seat of the chair being slightly off, the other three were a breeze.  I love the look and they are the perfect height and comfortable to sit in.  Would definitely recommend picking up some chair glides/pads for the base of these chairs if you are putting them on hardwood.
