5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Chairs We love these chairs! The cushions are sturdy and supple. Soft and yet firm. The material makes it easy to wipe clean. They are slightly weighty, but easy to pull out and push in. Very well made and easy to assemble. Fits our table well. We love the stylishness of these chairs. The wooded back and black fabric is chef’s kiss.Variation: Color: A-blackSize: Set of 4
5.0 out of 5 stars Love these chairs! Love these. I originally bought a less expensive set but returned because the wood color was much redder than expected. These are a true walnut color. They are extremely comfortable and look very expensive. Easy to put together too.Variation: Color: A-blackSize: Set of 4
5.0 out of 5 stars Feels like a quality chair I love these chairs! They are very solid so they do not feel cheap. They feel like quality. They were easy to assemble. I did it by myself. I ordered four to fit a small space and they were nice enough that I ordered two more. The wood grain color on the chairs was a little lighter than I expected but still very nice and complimentary to the black leather.Variation: Color: A-blackSize: Set of 2
5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice! These are inexpensive chairs but they seem to be good quality. The metal frame is very sturdy, both the material and the design, and the padding is tightly connected to the back and bottom. They are not plush but comfortable, very reasonable for dining chairs. They sit a bit higher and the seat is not as deep as our old chairs, but I think that’ll be fine. The wood color was as expected and looks nice. We’ll see how long the fake leather lasts. The packing was excellent. Everything was wrapped and padded, with styrofoam around the outside. It would take a lot of damage to the box to damage the chairs.Variation: Color: A-blackSize: Set of 4
4.0 out of 5 stars Some hassles, but good chairs I just finished assembling the two chairs I bought. Now that they are assembled, I think I will like them.I am no stranger to assembling furniture and have tackled things much more complex than these. However, these were a challenge and much more so than they needed to be. (Hence, the missing star.) The instructions were adequate. Pictures only, no text, but it was pretty obvious what should go where. The labeling of the parts could have been a bit clearer, but again, it wasn’t hard to figure out. Everything needed was included and nothing was damaged.This probably would have been easier with two people as it was difficult to hold the pieces at the proper angles while manipulating the screws. However, I am only one person so I made do, as I have done numerous times before. What could have and should have been better, IMHO, was the drilling of the holes in the seat and backrest. The screws had to pass through holes in the metal frame before entering these pieces. However, rather than drilling the holes in the seat and backrest precisely to match the holes in the metal frame, they made the holes in the metal frame irregularly shaped rather than circular. This is hard to describe, but what it comes down to was having to jiggle the parts around to get all 4 screws to fit in their holes. With enough jiggling around, it could be done. But for a $100 chair, I think I should be able to have the holes in exactly the right places to receive the screws. Maybe it’s just me.One other little concern. While I’m glad that the chairs were not damaged, there was so much packaging (cardboard, styrofoam and tape) that it took me most of an afternoon to unbox the parts. And, having struggled with the screws for much of the evening, I still have a roomful of debris to clean up. Styrofoam is bad for the environment.Now for everything that is good and right. The chairs, now assembled, are attractive, sturdy and comfortable. They are firm for those who want to sit up straight. The material looks expensive but is easily wiped clean when there are spills. The chairs are a bit heavy, which can be good or bad. They won’t get knocked over easily but it takes some effort to move them. I am a small woman and I can move them just fine. Speaking of my height, the chairs are, as someone else mentioned, perhaps a bit higher than a traditional kitchen or dining room chair. Tall people will appreciate this. I am 5’2″ and my feet hit the floor easily. I have a table that is a little high so this is a bonus for me.All in all, I recommend these chairs. Once I have the debris cleared up, I will forget all about my complaints and problems with the screws. The hassle today is worth enduring for a good, solid chair.Variation: Color: A-blackSize: Set of 2
5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of compliments I receive lots of compliments on these. They are very comfy and stylish. They seem sturdy. I have had them for 6mos and no issues. Took me about 20 mins to put two chairs together. Very easy. Highly recommend.Variation: Color: A-brownSize: Set of 2
