Microfiber Parson Side Chairs (Set of 2)

As others have said, these chairs are a great value, look good and are quite comfortable. I ordered 6. At first I wasn't sure what all the fuss was about regarding assembly - the front legs go on effortlessly. The rear legs, not so much. After struggling w/the first, I was dreading doing 5 more. With a friend's help, we got it done, some went a little easier than others, but overall it was definitely not fun. Some tips...you have to jiggle the rear legs while you're threading the screws (7 on the rear), I found it somewhat easier to use a drill w/hex driver once threaded in, but the screws are soft metal and will strip easily if you muscle it. I'm glad it's done!

The chairs look really nice and they were not that hard to assemble once I got the first completed. The scfrews are very near the same length but they are not interchangeable so line them up before you start. The directions are not that specific. It would be better to have 2 people to put them together but I managed by myself with a few contortions. Use a power screw driver as the small tool that comes with the chairs does not tighten fully unless you are extremely strong.

These chairs were ordered to match ones I had purchased at xxxxxx several years ago. A perfect match and excellent quality made me thrilled to get these. We've gone through 5 grandbabies and there isn't anything that they can do to these chairs that can't be cleaned off. We've had spaghetti sauce, chocolate and ink pen even drawn in a bullseye that came out with just water or a little dish soap and water.

I rarely take the time to write online reviews of products but I was so happy with this purchase I thought I would do so. I am a very discerning shopper and spent countless hours researching an elegant and affordable dining chair to coordinate with an expensive dining table I recently purchased. I was skeptical due to all of the mixed reviews but took a chance and ordered 3 sets of these chairs. Yes, they took some time to assemble. They are, however, very sturdy and modern. They are not cheap looking. I used some shabby chic slip covers in a neutral color to cover them and I would put them up against any of the $200-$300 side chairs from major retailers. In my opinion, they would be great without slipcovers if you want a more formal look. The seat cushions are more of a taupe/mushroom color but they are very attractive. I would highly recommend these chairs. They are a super value and you can't beat the $2.95 shipping.
