Chaise de salle à manger Hoyal Mid-Century Modern

It looks beautiful overall. The stain and wood grain are lovely, and the frame has a lot of character. The faux leather, however, looks inexpensive and arrived with a hole in the seat. Since this was an open-box item, I wasn't expecting perfection, so that wasn't entirely surprising. Assembly was mostly straightforward, but two of the backrest holes required longer screws than the ones provided, so I had to use screws I already had. The right-side back support is also slightly crooked, which happens to be the same side where the screw issue occurred, so I suspect the brace itself may have a minor defect. Fortunately, it's not very noticeable. The plastic screw covers were disappointing. They felt flimsy and warped as soon as I attempted to tap them into place, even with a heavy cloth protecting them. It's unfortunate because the quality of the woodwork is much higher than the quality of these finishing details, which brings down the overall impression of the chair. That said, the frame is absolutely worth keeping. I plan to reupholster the seat myself and replace the plastic screw covers with real wooden ones. With those upgrades, I think it will be a beautiful piece. I've styled it with complementary furnishings and décor, which helps disguise some of the flaws and allows the woodwork to really shine.

Great set, quality product, well built, solid, sturdy and level. The one challenge is the screws don’t all catch as the nuts are set in at different depths.

Love these chairs!
