These chairs seem sturdy, are comfortable and are great looking considering their low price. I am using them in a dining room that will not be used on a daily basis, so after reading the good reviews I was willing to take the chance on these chairs to save money.  The only reason I gave them 4 stairs was because they were very difficult to put together.  My husband assembled 6 of them and it took him a long time to do so.  The holes in the base of the chair consistently did not match up to the legs so he had to manhandle the leg a bit so that the screw would screw tightly into the bottom of the chair. I am very pleased with they way they look in our dining room and feel like they will hold up over time.  They definitely don’t look like inexpensive chairs.
