These chairs are so much better than they appear in the photo. They are quality pieces of furniture. I was not sure about the quality when I ordered them being the price is so low, but upon receipt, they are great chairs. The quality surpasses the chairs I looked at when I was at Ikea. The material is quality and the chairs are upholstered correctly. The cherry wood legs are solid and have a great finish on them. The assembly was easy, everything was labeled and enclosed. We have been very happy with our purchase and could not have gotten a better deal!

We were considering similar chairs from a box store for about the same price when we stumbled upon these on the net and decided to order. We couldn't be happier with our choice. There is a bit of "new vinyl" odor when unpackaged, but it dissipates quickly. The chairs went together easily and fairly quickly(10-15 minutes per chair)and are a nice size, very comfortable, and feel rock solid. They are far superior to the chairs we had been looking at. To top it off, our dining room looks updated and our table (which is solid, but getting on in years) will NOT have to be replaced.

I love my purchase. These chairs are actually prettier than in the picture. We replaced our dining chairs about six months ago. We've enjoyed them and haven't had any complaints about them as of yet. Our friends who have visited and used them commented they were very comfortable and stylish. We found they were easy to put together as well. I'm very glad that I made the purchase and even more pleased that I'm still happy with that decision after six months of usuage.
Too Good To Be True? NOT! May 21, 2010

In my search to "temporarily replace" old dining room chairs, I found these. Hmmm...WAY too inexpensive to be any good, I thought, but I took a chance and gave them a try - even though returning them was not going to be an option (read the fine print on returns). I decided I'd put them in my upcoming garage sale if they didn't work out. They arrived literally 3-4 days later in very lightweight boxes containing the seat back with two legs already attached, the seat bottom and two separate legs. All you have to do is screw these few pieces together with an allen wrench which they supplied. It was extremely easy to do, albeit a somewhat slow process using the allen wrench. I did have one chairback out of six that had a defect, however, the rapid response with no questions asked was incredible!!! A new chair back was shipped to me the VERY SAME DAY. The style is nicer than regular flat backed parsons chairs - these have curved backs and fit in nicely with the rest of the furnishings in our home. We're SMILING. What a GREAT deal!

We bought a set of 6 for our glass-top cappuccino dining table (purchased through Macy's) as a cheaper alternative than buying the Parsons chairs from Macy's as they were $200/chair for the fabric version of $400/chair for the leather version. Buying this here saved us quite a bit.
After a lot of looking around for this style chair, this was definitely the best bang for the buck. Most places, even Target, would have these at $99/chair. I was able to get it here for roughly $560 all-in (chairs and shipping).
I received the set of 3 boxes (2 chairs/box) within 4 days. The boxes are 40 lbs each. Very light considering the size of the box. Even with my recently operated on ankle, I was able to carry the boxes up two flights of stairs with no problem (I am 5'10", 200 lb male).
The first thing you will notice when opening the box is a chemical smell. I'm not necessarily sure what it is, but it's neither too pleasant or too pungent - airing out the room definitely helped. Each chair is made up of 3 pieces: the backing w/ two legs already attached, the seat cushion, and two separate legs you must attach. The "leather" material feels pretty decent, smooth yet not too plastic feeling; it definitely has some texture to it, which gives it a pretty sturdy feeling as well.
The most obvious part that reveals the chairs' "cheapness" is the bottom of the seat cushion. You can see that the frame of the cushion is made of cheap wood (almost like a thick balsa wood) that's been coated with some sort of dark sealing chemical (perhaps that's the smell). You'll notice that the leather material is relatively thin but I don't think it will break without aggressive coaxing. All the materials are stapled into the wood and some of the staples sticking out (but nothing crazy). Luckily, this is the bottom of the chair and the only time you'll see it is when you're assembling them.
Which brings me to my next point. Assembly is pretty easy. It took me less than 10 mins/chair. There are 10 screws/chair and one wooden dowel. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND NOT using the supplied allen wrench. Use one that has a handle or one that is part of an allen key set (the ones that look like a swiss army knife). It will make twisting the screws into the wood much easier and faster. I thought I would run into issues with screwing them into the cheap wood, but no splitting or splintering occurred. It's pretty flexible wood and can take quite a bit of pressure. That being said, don't apply too much pressure with the screws. The best thing to do is loosely screw them in by hand and then finish them off evenly with the allen wrench.
All in all, a great buy for a chair that looks much more than it is. It is also very comfortable and cozy.
Highly recommended for those on a budget.
