The chairs are fine, they do make a slight crinkly noise when you sit back on them which may get annoying over time but they are cheap. We will be using them until we find chairs that we love for our new home. Like other reviews said they are extremely light! Putting them together was fairly easy other than the fact there are no pre drilled holes in the bottom of the chair (the seat) so you just have to push and hope for the best which is annoying and can be risky.
