We were skeptical about buying chairs online without the opportunity to actually sit in them and try them first. We took the chance and were very pleasantly surprised with these chairs. We purchased chairs in the java finish - they look fantastic. The lines are nice and we like the tall slender look of the back. Each chair had all the right parts and were easy to assemble. It took about 15 minutes per chair (I used my own tools rather than the hex key provided with the hardware). The chairs are solid and sturdy (they have some weight to them). The back is at a great angle to the seat. The seat is a comfortable width and is well contoured. We're very pleased with this purchase and would recommend these chairs to others.

The chairs are great for the money, but just like some other reviews, the packaging of the legs needs some serious help. I ordered three sets of these. They came in three separate boxes, and in one box was three right legs and one left leg. Luckily, one of the other two boxes had three left legs and one right leg, so the errors balanced each other out (Yes, two wrongs made a right.) And the third box was packaged correctly. Can't believe we were that lucky, and I feel sorry for those who have to delay their project to wait for the correct parts to be shipped. Nice chairs - we really like them, but, it's a crap shoot to see if they send you the correct leg parts...

Attractive, sturdy, as shown in photo (wood seat is medium brown, not cherry), assembly of 2 chairs took 30 minutes (very easy) -- would highly recommend -- bought 2 to see what they were like -- just bought another 4 because was so satisfied!
