The chairs are very stylish and have a very nice look to them for the price. However, the welding of the metal looks a bit sloppy as you can see in the attached photos. It is very rugged and dirty looking. The welding is on the side of the chairs right under the wood seat so it is noticeable. Unfortunately because the cost of shipping is so high we will keep the chairs but it makes me hesitant to purchase something similar in the future without an improved return policy.
