Haven't had them assembled yet so can't speak to those issues, if any.  However, this is a very nice looking chair and well made for the money.  I chose it because it has the upright qualities of a dining chair but the shape and comfort of an occasional chair.  I am using them in my living room at a small card table by the windows, but also able to move easily to seating area for extra occasional seating.  The color is light brown tweed with medium brown woven with cream.  I have them near windows I open so I hope they don't show dirt like another fabric might. The brass nailheads look great; not cheap or tacky looking at all.  And they are so pretty from all angles, another thing I wanted.  Hope this helps.
