I like the looks of it, and it's a pretty good bang for the buck. Having said that, I must add that the person from Handy Assemble Service was unable to get all of the chairs completely stable; although he tried and tried, 2 of them still have a slight wobble. Not so much that they are unsafe, but it really seems to be a quality control issue by the manufacturer (as opposed to a problem with the "expert assembly" itself).
