Warehouse of Tiffany Shino Dining Chairs (Set of 4)

These are actually very beautiful chairs but I'm afraid they may not last a long while. I purchased 6 of these chairs. Assembly was easy but getting the screws and bolts in took some effort...and of course they require an allen wrench (provided) which complicates it even further. The location of the rear seat bolts did not allow for the use of a powered screw driver, so my fingers were hurting after assembling 6 of these. It also takes some effort to make sure the legs are even and the chair doesn't wobble. I suppose a person who is more handy than I could do this effortlessly. The chair is comfortable, but feels light and cheap. It gives me the impression that these may not last the test of time. But, as I said, it is a pretty chair.

Had I not been required to make two trips to *** to be able to assemble this product, I would have given it four stars. Five, minus one for the minor damage to one seat that no one will ever see. Read on if you want the full story on the journey to two stars. The chairs arrived reasonably quickly in a banged up cardboard box. I took them out and noticed that one of the seats had damaged upholstery on the underside. Further investigation led to the cause of the damage. Two of the supports on this seat had been tack-nailed (bradded, actually, if you want to get technical) into position but not screwed in to keep them there. One of them came loose, pulling the upholstery away from where it was supposed to be and damaging it. The other one held up. I considered sending the whole thing back, but decided against it since a quick trip to *** would yield the appropriately-sized screws. The damage would not be noticable, and it isn't on a load bearing surface, so I figured all would be well. A little bit of prying, cursing, and physical persuasion, and I got the one brace back into place and both of the unsecure ones screwed in. Minus one star. These chairs require some assembly because the back and back legs come detached from the seat, and the front legs are separate from the other two pieces. The seat is secured to the back by two screws supplied by the manufacturer, or at least three of mine are that way. The fourth one has one factory bolt and one *** bolt, which was really fun to find because it didn't occur to me until halfway through that trip that the screw is probably metric (it is). Minus one and a half stars (extra half star for the aggravation of having to take an extra hour and a half to go back to ***). So now we're at minus two and a half stars. I'm taking another half star off for lack of sturdy construction. Because of the design, it's not advisable for larger folks such as me (6'0", 225lbs) to consider leaning back in these chairs. I've been able to do that with most other chairs I've owned. This is a small point, however.
