3.0 out of 5 stars Comfy & cute, but assembly is a bad joke, September 18, 2007

Everything that the first reviewer of this product said is true (no pre-drilled seats, assembly is unique every time). I ordered a pair of these chairs and they're working out wonderfullly...but it took multiple, frustrating hours to get there. My seats lacked any directions for assembly, so, there was some redo work involved. Also, if you're not comfortable drilling (read: you will need a drill) your own holes for the seat pads...stay away.

The assembled chairs are comfortable for what they are. They look very cute and they should hold up for a few years.

The simple inclusion of assembly instructions would bump my review up by a star. As it stands, I can't rate semi-tricky, DIY furniture (without instructions) any higher than three stars.

It's true, the holes are not pre-drilled on the seat. But you don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out where to put the screws. You line up the seat on the frame, hold them both in place and then turn the screws in. If you don't feel comfortable doing that, you can line up the seat and frame, take a pen or pencil and mark where the holes should be and pre-drill.

Look, I'm 8 months pregnant and I did this by myself with a cheap ($10) Black and Decker cordless screwdriver. The screws they use are not the typical philips or flat heads, they are hex screws and if you have a bit for your drill or screwdriver, that will make assembly a breeze. My chairs came with goofy Chinese directions(they were really funny, but I understood) and it took me about a half-hour to put the two together.

The chairs themselves look great. The pictures are lame and make them look a little cheap, but they really are nicer than I expected. The vinyl is not shiny, it is matte, but that's okay because shiny vinyl would probably look gross after a while. The seat cushion is extra thick and it's not that crappy foam that flattens after a few sits. The frame is sturdy, I had a 300-pound guy sit in one for dinner and all parts are still intact (phew!). Also, the glides are nylon so they won't damage your floor.

Sooo, I think these are a really good buy for less than $50 a piece.

I have 3 of my 4 chairs put together, but after a few weeks still cannot get the screws in the seatback of the last chair. The seat cushions do not have pre-drilled holes, so you can end up with all the seat cushions on differently. I am happy with the 3 chairs that are put together, but I now have one unusable chair.
