I had to wait a week to review so I could calm down. My husband and I had to take about 5 calm down and walk away breaks putting these chairs together. There are extra screws in the pack, which I understand now why. They strip SO easily. I finally thought to use WD 40 on the screws to get them in, but not before i stripped the heads on 2 screws using the Allen wrench.  I was down to my last screw.... and it stripped. The threads and the head. I used a wrench, twisted it in a bit further and then gave up. Almost $200...... my husband was angry about spending that on a set that was more than a little difficult to get together.  It looks good. Is sturdy, which is why I gave it 3 stars. Could not push out another star..... still a bit frosted after a week.
