After a few months of researching chairs, we finally settled on these because of the price, the positive reviews and because wayfair.com sent us a 15% off coupon.  I was nervous about assembling chairs, but these chairs were fairly easy to assemble with one entire back piece and two front legs attaching to the seat with 11 screws.  We bought 8 chairs to go with our 9 foot farmhouse table.  When the company boards are not attached, we only use 6 chairs.  We love how solid they feel, but they are not too heavy.  After a few weeks of use, we may need to tighten a few of the screws due to settling.  There was one minor flaw on one of the backs, but a little super glue fixed the problem.  We really hope these chairs hold up to the rugged use of our family with three small children.
