Great looking, but poorly built and mislabeled,

First off, as other reviewers have noted, these are definitely NOT leather, but I kinda figured that for the price. I am pleased that the vinyl material used is very leather-like and comfortable. However, it does have a very strange greasy film on it that smells quite bad. Luckily, this can be cleaned off easily.
As for assembly/build quality, they did not include the locking washers as noted in the parts list, and one of the 4 chairs I ordered came with 5 of one type of bolt and 3 of another, meaning I couldn't put the 4 bolts into the back of one of the chairs.

After shopping around quite a bit for Parson chairs, we decided to give these a try. We were pleasantly surprised with the quality and sturdiness of the design. Two chairs come in a box disassembled. Parts consist of a seat, a back w/ two legs attached, and the front two (individual) legs, along with a dozen screws and allen wrench. Assembly is about 20 minutes per chair, or a bit faster if you have a power drill with hex tip. Sure, it's vinyl, not leather; but it's soft to the touch. Padding is sufficient. Going to buy six more chairs now to round out the set!

I have 6 of these chairs at my formal dining room table. They work great and didnt cost a fortune! Can be a pain to assemble but worth it!
