I needed 5 of these chairs and ordered 6 so I guess a con would be that fact that these chairs only come in sets of 2 instead of being able to purchase them in singles. The chairs are very sturdy and require a bit of assembly. The directions have you tighten the bolts as you add the sections, but after our first chair assembly we didn't tighten all the bolts until the end since the legs were easier to level that way. I agree with one of the other reviewers who said the color should be described as "antique bronze" vs. "old world steel". In the picture of the item the metal appears more silver than bronze. The color doesn't clash in my kitchen with the stainless and brushed nickel so I am happy with the metal color, but I do wish the color had more of a nickel hint to it. Also, the top part of the back of the chair looks like wood in the picture, but it seems that it is some type of composite material. I've only had the chairs for a little over a week, but they seem as though they will hold up well in a busy kitchen."..." Read more
