For the price these chairs are brilliant. You can't complain really. Easy to put together. Just 4 screws at the base with an allen key. One of the bases was welded sticking up so it was hard to screw in so we had to gently bend it with pliers. After this it was fine! Slight mark on one of the velvet chairs but as mentioned before, I feel for the price I can live with it as not very noticeable. Hopefully they last a couple of years. They look more expensive than they are and are comfortable.
