The metal the chairs are manufactured with are soft, to the poi t they were bending and bowing just putting them together. The screws were stripping and the allen wrench corners to grip the screws were all stripping only halfway through the first chair being assembled. For the price point I was willing to look past the scratches all over the pieces in the black finish I had noticed when just unpacking to assemble, the tread being loosely stapled to the bottom of the chair and wavy and the woven rattan being poorly attached to the back side but the over quality during assembly was enough to make me take the 4 pieces apart and put them back in the box. If they dont hold up well just putting it together, how is it supposed to last even one year worth of use It was returned.
