The chairs were exactly what I expected. I would have liked them to be a bit more brown, but they do match the picture (my husband swears they are black, even though I ordered dark brown). A few reviews said they were hard to put together, but I thought they were pretty easy. It does help if you use a drill instead of the tools provided. One of them was unbalanced (seems to be a problem, as this was noted in other reviews), but nothing an extra felt pad couldn't fix. 

Pros: Easy to assemble (with a drill); They feel durable
Cons: One was unbalanced; could pass as 'black' instead of dark brown
