These are beautiful and sturdy. I had a helluva time trying to assemble them though! This is essential/ DO NOT tighten the Vertical Back Supports (part E) until you are done! When tightened, there was absolutely NO way the arms, back, and these E supports would line up to be screwed together! I was certain the parts were wrong. The screw holes were off by at least an inch! But when bolts are all relaxed, the three parts (A, C/D, and E) can flex, line up and screw together. Phew!
DO NOT tighten as you go!
