These chairs look great and seem nice once set up but WHOA! Hardest thing I've ever had to put together.  The screws that came with the chair are way too short.  They have little brackets that go around the legs which don't close down completely making it virtually impossible to get the screw in.  I wound up having to re-purchase longer screws.  Once I got the 1/4" longer screw-they went in perfectly.  Why wouldn't the manufacturer just put longer screws in?  Also, while I was trying to get the original screws in, the base plate they go into scratched up so badly with the tiniest bit of pressure.  The paint seemed like white out, it came off so easily.
