Chairs are comfortable but there were a lot of scratches on the legs and some of the wood used for the frame was starting to deteriorate. I was very disappointed in the quality of the chairs and wouldn’t say they look like “new”. They will do the job for a few years but if you really want some good quality furniture that looks pristine- I would look elsewhere. Took a few pictures just to demonstrate. Note the deterioration on the frame by the main bolts- luckily I was able to screw in the bolts without issue and they seem stable but the deterioration was really close to compromising those two holes.
