Parson Striped Upholstered Dining Chair (Set of 2)

These chairs were purchased for a gift for my parents. They were true to size and color, except what I thought was going to be a blue stripe turned out to be more of a steel gray. It still worked very well. The only problem we had with them is that after following assembly instructions to the letter, one of the chairs rocked horribly, with the right front leg being noticeably shorter than the rest. I contacted Customer Service, who promptly sent out a replacement leg. After changing it out, it helped somewhat, but still rocked. The difference is it doesn't rock once you sit in it, so it is not enough of a problem to return the chairs. They are definitely worth the price paid and look beautiful around a breakfast table.

We purchased two of these for our sunroom where we sit and have coffee in the morning. I would put 5 stars except that they're not quite firm enough in the seat and back, like other dining chairs we have. One of us is very picky about back support and thankfully he thinks these chairs work just fine for what we use them for. They might require a small bolster pillow if you need firm lumbar support for a longer stretch of time. The color is difficult to gauge online. I originally thought they would be more of a sunny yellow and light blue (hence the choice for our sunroom), but in person I would say that the colors are more copper and gray. Nevertheless, they look beautiful with our sunwashed oak paneling and coppery marble linoleum. I saw that someone recommended the espresso table, so we'll probably pick that up next to go with the chairs. When putting the chairs together, be sure to follow the instructions carefully not to tighten the bolts until the chair is fully assembled. We had good luck with getting the chairs level that way without rocking. I'd also recommend lubing the bolt threads with a bar of soap ahead of time to make them move easier. For the price I think these chairs are very nice!

First, to anyone that has bought, or is thinking of buying, be sure to follow the directions exactly. Do not tighten the screws until you have them ALL in (about 2/3 of the way in). Then just go around and tighten each screw a little at a time until they are all tight. Then, no wobble or short legs! Second, these chairs are WONDERFUL! The fabric is great, I really think it is a micro fiber, or very close. The color of the wood legs is very nice, a medium shade. It blends nicely with darker or lighter woods. These chairs will go with any decor. They are really nice. The pictures show them as having a red color, but there is NO red at all. The stripes range from dark brown, to tan, cream, with silver stripes. Third, I received a great surprise when I removed the wrapping from the chair backs. They are very nicely finished with a self fabric piping all around the sides and top. Beautiful. I am ordering two more before they sell out, I love them!!

I have determined the quality was not worth the bargan. I have had these (4) chairs about a year. When we first got them putting them together was a nightmare because of the poor quality of the chairs. On two chairs the legs would not tighten. I called Overstock and besides sending them back completely I had no options. I really liked and wanted the chairs. I ended up taking them to a funiture repair shop. There I had him replace the screwing mechanism. It cost about $20, so for me it was better than sending them back. Fast forward to now... months later with little to moderate use. The wood by the screws has broken and the leg is no longer study. Back to the funiture repair store I go. I am so disgusted.
