I had high hopes for these chairs, and while there are things I like about them I cannot say I would recommend them. They mostly assembled okay, although there was one chair for which a long screw would not tighten - it just spun and spun. We believe this was a manufacturing flaw. We really like the height of the chairs. The seat is a little higher than a lot of other dining chairs I looked at, which was a factor in our decision to purchase them. I am, however, disappointed with the quality of the upholstry, which I doubt will clean up easily or hold up well. Brand new the fabric has a bit of a pucker or wave, not the taut fit you'd see with real leather. It feels thin. I know for the price I shouldn't complain, but overall I am a bit disappointed.
