There were and still are several loose weaving.  Some I have had to glue or they would have raveled out .  It was just too large of a prod to have to send back.  Kind of wish I would have waited to find a off white one of which I was really after.  I am now going to have to paint to get the color I want.  The chair itself is very comfortable and we will enjoy as soon as I repair and paint.  The style was what I was after.  Should have probably kept shopping.
We will see.
