I bought an 8 seater table from Pier 1 when it was on the going out of business clearance. These chairs are exact duplicates of the chairs that go with this table. I don't know about the negative reviews but I think these chairs are amazing. They are sturdy, easy to assemble, comfortable and just PERFECT. The fabric and trim are all very tightly in place and the color looks just like the picture. Someone said they have a blue tint to the gray but I don't agree with that either. They are just gray, at least the ones I received. They were packaged well, very well protected, no dings or chips, no damage anywhere. I put all 6 chairs together, alone, in about 3 hours. The bolts are tightened with an allen wrench and you have to hand tighten all of them(9 per chair), so my hands and thumbs are quite sore this morning but it was well worth the effort! The very last chair did not fit as flush as the others but it was workable and it's just as sturdy. You have to read the directions first(this is why I assembled them instead of my husband) and not tighten them as far as you can but instead tightening them a little at a time. And yes, there were maybe 3 that were wobbly but I was able to work with the front legs a bit and was able to straighten them out for the most part, but mine are on an area rug(see pic) so the little bit of wobbly isn't noticeable at all but can most likely be fixed by replacing the protective piece on the short leg with one a little thicker. They are just a few centimeters different on these 3, so not a big deal for me. The other 3 are perfect. I highly recommend these chairs, you won't be disappointed!
FABULOUS CHAIRS!!
