I painted these chairs white to go with my kitchen table. And I love them! It was a really fun project. Assembly was easy, and they're sturdy and perfect quality for my young family. I did need to sand them before painting. I know fancy design shops sell this exact chair finished for 2x or 3x the price. I was thrilled to find these chairs so I could customize them for half the cost of the decor shops. Thanks, Wayfair!
