It takes me forever to spend money especially this kind of money (for 8 dining room chairs) and I'm particular so I've been looking for new chairs for a couple of years because mine kept coming unscrewed and unglued and they were hard oak! When I saw the heftier legs, the buttons on the back, the nice wide seat and in beige/tan (neutral) and a name I recognized AND it was on sale well, say no more... I ordered them and within the week they were here and NO assembly! Couldn't be happier and Great Offer Stock makes it easy with courteous people when I have had a problem. (Oh and I almost didn't order because on the website they look kind of light pink but they are not)
