The chairs are beautiful and built solid but the seats are not sanded or coated  proper. I get the whole natural wood with holes but when I sit on a chair or rub my hand over the actual seat part I should not get splinters. If it was just a matter of feeling rough that would be fine but there are actual splinters. I have two small children, which means I have to now figure out a way to fix this situation without using seat cushions. I bought 8 chairs and need to figure out how to coat 6 of them. I recommend the company selling something to go with this furniture for situations like this, instead of making me now have to research the best way to inexpensively fix the problem. Once I fix the splinter situation they’ll be 5 stars!!
