These replaced old rickety wicker seat counter stools. These are much more sturdy and made fairly well. My only disappointment was that the color was much darker than expected but it turns out that they match via contrast very nicely and make the room look classy. They were packed very well and no issues out of the box. Assembly was a concern after reading all the other reviews that stated mislabeled parts and flaws in the legs. We followed the instructions, sorted all the parts and everything was labeled correctly and went together perfectly. in the stretchers there were some burrs on the dowel pegs that once sanded off they fit well into the holes. It took less than an hour for two people to setup both chairs, just take your time and follow the instructions step by step. One had an ever so slightly shorter leg so we pulled out the plastic floor tacks from the bottom of the legs and placed felt pads to protect our hardwood floor and one leg had to have two pads to make it level. Easy fix, no wobble, no problem. I didn't expect perfection at this price point but the quality is much better than I expected. Overall they are very nice chairs.
