Chairs stained and assembled well.  Love that they are solid wood and are very comfortable.  Overall, the chairs matched the description but the only reason not getting 5 stars is that the design at the bottom of the seat doesn't match the picture shown.  It is more like the wood is cut in waves instead of a design.  Also, I ordered four chairs and in one of the chairs, the foot rest assembly was tricky because one of the holes was cut incorrectly.  Fortunately my husband was to still able make it work.  I am very happy with the chairs and they go very well with my dining table.
