The seat is a little more narrow than I anticipated and I had some trouble assembling the first chair. You have to be really careful to tighten the screws in a rotation vs. tightening one or two too much at first. I ended up stripping one screw and need to figure out how to get a replacement. Also, beware if you have a cat with claws. They make great scratching posts. Aside from that, they're really cute and I'm happy with the look.
