The chairs are easy to assemble and are very sturdy.  They're quite wide which makes them comfortable but might be an issue where space is limited.  One suggested improvement:  the wood seat and back are held in place by screws through the metal tubing but only some of the holes in the tubing are "dimpled" to countersink the screws to make the screw heads flush with the metal tubing - the exposed edges of these screw heads are pretty sharp and could cut fingers or catch fabric of clothes.  The manufacturer should countersink all screw holes or provide rounded "pan head" screws for these spots.
