Wanted to love these. The style, shape, size, and design are very modern and a good high end copy. BUT, as others have noted, the screw holes do not line up to attach the two pieces of the chairs. Why is that so hard? Two metal pieces should have their holes drilled to match, shouldn't they? Seems like that would not be too hard. I was not going to attempt to force it together and potentially break something or strip the screws. Such nice looking chairs if manufacturer just tweaked their system a little.Love my chairs ! Invest in chair pads to Did quality and comfort .
