Considering the price these look nice and feel pretty sturdy. I assembled 3 sets by myself, and I am no woodcrafter, so definitely something most could do with only reasonable effort. One of my chairs had a very small piece of wood that came off while I was putting it together. If I apply a little stain touch up, it should conceal it well. I was also shorted one of the longest screws. I'm not sure how I'm suppose to get another. Aside from that I have no concerns with them and am pleased with my purchase.
