I really like these chairs.  They look great with my dark wood table.  Had trouble putting them together - had to have another chair delivered, as one was defective (the replacement was, unfortunately, not much better).  Wood on the inside has some rough edges, makes putting them together a challenge to avoid splinters.  Sometimes the holes don't line up perfectly, so you have to play with it a little.  I was also missing one washer, but that was an easy, inexpensive fix.  But once they are put together correctly, they are really nice, sturdy dining chairs!
