These chairs look nice when assembled and are sturdy. The effort needed to put them together is much more difficult than average assembly with very hard to turn screws that are at times covered by the plastic wrap (wicker). Additionally they arrived with wicker broken in several places. I used superglue to stick them to the metal and it's fine for now as I did not want to deal with returning and finding something else. Suffice it to say they're "OK" but not fantastic.
