I wanted to give a 4.5 star review, but can’t, so I opted for 4 stars.  The foot ring only aligned/angled properly with the ring upside down.  There are holes on the bottom of the ring that can be felt if bear foot… not continuously smooth.  Besides that the chairs are sturdy, look great, and have had a few compliments on them.  If the ring fits properly for you these are 5 Star chairs.
