We opted for these chairs mainly for the additional center cross-bar support under the seat to support the max weight description, compared to other chairs at a comparable price. We loved the backrest and the neutral fabric selection that fits any space. The chair instructions were easy to follow, but we would not recommend assembling both chairs at once, as leveling is required before tightening the final screws. We ran into an issue with one of our crossbars on one of the chairs not aligning with the indentation, so we chiseled the hardwood to align it. If we hadn’t felt confident in woodworking, we would likely have returned.
