These chairs seem to be very well made. The fabric is a soft chenille, but the weave is pretty tight, I don't think it will easily snag like some chenille does. Four bolts are all that it takes to put together, very easy to do. The seat is firm, but I think over time it will relax a bit. I could find no flaws in the fabric or seams, and the skirt was folded up for shipping so as to not cause any creases. My only complaint is that it's made in China, but what're you gonna do?
