These are so cute I am so happy I went with these. I got the table from overstock (grain wood montauk table) the kitchen looks very clean and high end.
I'm very impressed with the quality of the chairs. I got the ones with the olive green seats and they are stunning. Very solid and not hard to assemble once I figured out the first one. I had read previous reviews about having trouble getting the holes to line up. I did also but thanks to those reviews I knew what to do and it worked great. I haven't used them yet but first impression is 10/10
The quality itself fully assembled was good and it felt sturdy sitting on it. The cushions were also comfortable to sit on and overall we're happy with our chairs. HOWEVER, the reason I am giving it 3 stars is that assembling the chair was very questionable. Some parts didn't fit correctly, and not all the holes lined up properly—at one point we had to make a hole and we had to force the metals parts of the chair leg to align with the hole. Also, one of the bottom protection pieces came in broken and didn't fit into the hole it was supposed to. We ended up having to melt the plastic just enough to squeeze the peg in, however it still didn't stay in. Overall, it works, but it's not top quality and we were only okay with it because once you sit on the chair you don't really notice it.
Honestly, it's hard to find a cheaper price for these kinds of chairs (I've looked), which is why we took the risk to buy them. We're happy with our chairs, but I definitely can't justify buying these chairs again for the price we paid and the subpar assembly experience. The only two things that I'm genuinely happy about with the chairs are the rattan back pieces and the cushion.
I love these chairs and their airy boho 70s vibe. The cane is real, i.e. woven plant material, so it has natural variations from the reeds used and the weaving process. It doesnt have the squeaky perfection of plastic —this is a plus for me, YMMV.
The square-ish frame of the backs is solid wood and sanded smooth. The seat cushions are very firm; Im guessing particle board with foam wrap. It needs that sturdiness to physically hold the chair together. Theyre comfy enough for dining chairs, but I wouldnt want to sit for hours. Theres a very slight bounce which really takes me back to when my aunt had similarly shaped chairs when I was a small kid. Just love that.
I forgot to take photos of the assembly, but it is indeed quite challenging by yourself. However, it CAN be done by one person if youre determined: lay the frame on its side on soft carpet and drape yourself firmly but gently across it to squeeze the sides together enough to get the screws lined up. This kind of tension is necessary for structural integrity, so its not a bug. Assembly was simple, but not easy. It went quickly once I figured out the drape/body-squeeze technique. Or you could just be less impatient than I and get a second person to help lol. For each chair, the metal frame has 3 pieces: two L-shaped smaller pieces that form the back and go under the seat, and one large piece that is the entire base and legs, and meets the other pieces under the seat. Dont tighten the seat screws until you have all four of them 3/4 of the way in. Attaching the back is the last step and is a breeze. Youll want to attach to two lower screws first, about halfway in, and then the upper screws. Tighten the upper screws before the lower ones—theres a slight curve in the frame right at the lower screw level, and if you tighten the lower screws first, the back wont lie completely flat across the top.
Customer service: one of the backs had a dark 3 round stain in the center of the cane. There was no way I was unassembling both chairs, sending them back, and reassembling a new set. So instead of a return through , I contacted the seller directly. They were so friendly and nice and sent a replacement back very quickly (only 5 days including a weekend!) with no reluctance or charge. All in all, just an unusually delightful experience.
I wasnt expecting much as far as quality but these are heavy and sturdy, the wood is solid and the caning is thick, good quality. Nothing about these chairs feels cheap except the price! Here are some closer up
Details of the materials
Zero Complaints, super easy to assemble, I did them on my own. The chairs are sturdy and arrived well packaged. I'm ecstatic for this purchase of a mid century modern chair, quality and priced well as a pair. Stunning piece, you cant go wrong snagging these!
