Good quality, heavy chairs! Easy to put together and came quickly. The paint work is OK. You can tell the glaze or whatever was used for the distressed look was painted in the middle of the leg but not brushed on well (just on one). The underside of the "X's" on the back aren't well painted. You can't see it unless you are looking from the ground up though. I also paid a little too much. Overall I like the chairs but should have waited for a better sale.
