These chairs are very nice looking. They are larger than I anticipated, and very firm. The legs are not stained to match the chair, but rather look like reclaimed wood from an old barn. I had some difficulty putting them together, but eventually succeeded. Using an L-wrench for this task caused me some pain in my hands and fingers, so I had to stop for a day or two before I could finish the job. The instructions were adequate. One of my chairs was a bit wobbly, but when I followed the instructions for correcting the problem, it worked. I like the chairs, though, and have them in the bedroom for every day use, with the option of bringing them out for spare dining chairs when we have company. Good value.
