Love! But...
I had read all of the reviews, so I knew they might be a pain to put together...they kind of were. Here's the thing...the holes do line up, but you have leave everything completely loose until you have all eight threaded just a little, then tighten everything.
Put the back on first, but barely thread the screws. Then push the seat around and do the four bottom screws, one at a time by pushing the seat around to line the holes up. Yes, I got a little bit of a workout.
Hardware advice: the screws supplied use an Allan wrench and are cheap, meaning easy to strip. I went to Ace and bought hex screws in the same size and used a socket wrench. Cost me $15 and was much easier. Granted I did this because I was missing hardware from my shipment, but I'm glad it worked out that way.
So, the chairs...the bottom metal is super sturdy and beautiful. Looks way more expensive than it is. The pleather is thin, so would be very easy to puncture. It looks nice, but I'm bout sure how it will hold up. Two chairs came out of the box with punctures. Good news is the parts are solid enough that I can recover these.
Overall, I am super happy.
