Im a bit torn on these chairs; theyre nice but not nice enough.
PROS:
/Cant beat the price. Two chairs for the price of what youd find one of these for at a store.
/The upholstery work looks nice and seems well made.
/They seem to be physically sturdy enough for regular use.
CONS:
/The leg work is shoddy at best. Not only is the finish hideous (and youll most likely have tons of filler/buffing compound falling off on your hands as you assemble) but some of the legs seem short. As other reviewers have stated, youre likely to get a wobbler. Out of 4 chairs only 1 was noticeably bad. Easy fix with some cheap felt pads.
/One of my chairs had the springs nailed in so far from the middle that the wood split a bit. Probably not a structural concern but I used some wood glue and sistered in a brace just in case (not going to have a spring pop off while my kid is playing under the chair).
/There is some minor assembly to be done. If youve every built anything from IKEA it will be a piece of cake. If youre planning on simply taking it out of the box and sitting on it you will be out of luck. Not a big deal but as it does not state SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED anyone physically incapable of hunching over and wrenching a chair together should avoid or plan on getting assembly assistance.
Ultimately for the price its worth it to run out to the hardware store and do some touch up on these chairs.
Theyre ok.
