Remarkably beautiful chairs at even more remarkable price!
These are remarkable chairs / they are really beautiful, not posh, but good, quality chairs. They look exactly as in the pictures and they are made of wood (the frame, obviously). They are sturdy and well made, at price that is out of this world. Also, dont worry that some parts happened to be damaged: they included a paper form to get a replacement. Mine came in great condition.
Assembly: Now, the chairs dont come with an assembly guide (at least mine didnt), but it is pretty simple, though I have a couple of import warnings to share with those who are newbies like me. Im not a handyman nor I did anything like it before. And I made a few mistakes in the process.
First, for each chair there are 4 long screws and 5 short screws, and there are 4 screw holes on one side of the seat (for two front legs) and 5 screw holes on the other (for the back of the seat). But the of holes does not match the set of 4 and 5 screws (my original mistake). The 4 longer screws and one short screws are meant for the set of 5 holes in the back of the chair. The other remaining 4 short screws are meant to attach the front legs to the seat.
And second warning / while attaching the back of the chair to the seat, it is better to screw in all 5 screws at the same time (meaning, youd screw in one screw little bit, then the next one, then another and so all 5; then you do it again and go in rounds until all are tight. The thing is that while assembling my first chair, I screwed in only 4 long chairs at the same time, adding the 5th, short screw, at the end. And screwing in the 4 long screws was physically challenging because the screw holes are at different angles, by design. But I realized the imporce of the 5th screw when it shifted the two pieces (the seat and the back part) and properly aligned all 5 holes, and suddenly the long screws were penetrating with ease and all the way in. When I assembled the second chair, I did all 5 at the same time, and mama mia, how much easier it was.
Also, in my experience with these chairs, it is best not to use power screwdriver nor any other kind of similar tools. The tool that comes with the chairs is the best of them (for several reasons), just dont forget to use gloves and alternate longer leg with short one. Power screwdrivers could be even damaging by forcing the screws in the off direction (or maybe it just me). Great Product.
