Bought these chairs in the blue color. It's a beautiful blue, but way darker than advertised. More of a deep ink than the royal blue shown. The chairs had multiple scratches on them and ink drips in the finish. And the assembly was horrible, as mentioned by others. These was no way of assembling without modification of the holes. They didn't seem sturdy enough to go through all the trouble (and had damaged pieces to boot). Going back. It's unfortunate because the chairs did look beautiful.
