I wish they had half stars because my complaints are minor but I feel that 5 stars is reserved for those things that you have no complaints with. So the things that bother me are I wish the spring to center the chair was not so tight because the chair moves before the swivel does, the other thing is out of 4 chairs two have some wobble no matter how much I play with tightening and loosen and tighten to know avail, but I was able to make it work with different width floor protectors. The bottom line is I love the look and all said and done I love the chairs and highly recommend them. 4 and a half stars from me. Bye the way I went with the oak and they are very nice looking and very sturdy, As others have said they take a little time to put together but that is because they are VERY well built.
