These chairs look great, but the finish is very easy to scratch. One of our chairs had a crack in the bottom foundation, and my husband split two legs trying to put them together, so be careful. When assembling, loosely screw in the first three in the seat AND the four in the back two legs before tightening anything--to make sure they line up. Do the same for the four screws that go in the front two legs. It seems obvious once you've done a chair, but it was that first one that got us into trouble. Also: One of the chairs had a bent nail at the bottom of one of its legs, which meant that the round circle attached to the bottom of its leg was unattached when the chair arrived. We need to find another small nail and fix it. They are quite comfortable, though, and as I say, look really lovely.
