The positives: these chairs were fairly inexpensive, and I like the design. However, the instructions were terrible. I've put together a fair amount of furniture, but these instructions leave you guessing as to which way bars should go, lists one item needed when it needs two, and expects you to figure out most of it on your own. Our chairs also had some chips/rough edges/splinters, and there were some places where the furniture wasn't designed with enough room to easily screw things together, so you are stuck turning a hex key a tiny bit and then repositioning it. Plus when you go to screw the seat on, there isn't any indication of where the screws should go, and the instructions gloss right over that. We just guessed, and I think we got it right? These chairs will do, but definitely be ready for a bit of a struggle putting them together.
