Chairs are study and the color of the varnish is better than I was expecting. The cushion is decently comfortable. Set-up was overall pretty easy even though the instructions are not the most intuitive. Some of the wooden dowels that hold the chair together were a little tough to get into their holes. One con is that the varnish is pretty thin. Assembling the chairs I accidentally scratched some of the varnish because assembly of parts of the chair are awkward.
