So we bought one set of these chairs to try with a new dining room table. Quite surprised at the quality of these for a set of put/together chairs. they are comfortable and well designed. Fairly easy to assemble. Have seen comments on here about a slight wobble from one of the legs being shorter. Just read the instructions. If you assemble it correctly you wont get that. I tightened up the seat to the back first then with the front legs loosely hand tightened, you can set the chair on the floor and get it all level. Then reach under and tighten one of each front leg bolts enough to keep them in place. Flip it again for easier access and tighten everything up. Done. We liked the first pair so well we ordered a second pair.
My only problem was that the legs didnt match our table. The table is reclaimed wood so its very gray while the chair legs were almost blonde with a pickle gle on them. So i came up with a solution i will share in case anyone else has the same problem. I hand sanded the legs with 220 grit sandpaper, then took a stiff wire brush to them to get the rest of the stain/gle out of the texture of the wood. Bought a can of Varathane Weathered Wood Accelerator and hit them with that. 3 coats later i had the gray i wanted then sealed them. Turned out perfect. Ill attach a picture with 3 of the chair legs refinished and one with the factory finish so you can see the difference. Took a few hours to do, but beats paying hundreds per chair to match the table.
