Habit Solid Wood Tufted Parsons Purple Dining Chair, Set of 2

These are remarkable chairs - they are really beautiful, not posh, but good, quality chairs. They look exactly as in the pictures and they are made of wood (the frame, obviously). They are sturdy and well made, at price that is out of this world. Also, don't worry that some parts happened to be damaged: they included a paper form to get a replacement. Mine came in great condition. Assembly: Now, the chairs don't come with an assembly guide (at least mine didn't), but it is pretty simple, though I have a couple of important warnings to share with those who are newbies like me. I'm not a handyman nor I did anything like it before. And I made a few mistakes in the process. First, for each chair there are 4 long screws and 5 short screws, and there are 4 screw holes on one side of the seat (for two front legs) and 5 screw holes on the other (for the back of the seat). But the # of holes does not match the set of 4 and 5 screws (my original mistake). The 4 longer screws and one short screws are meant for the set of 5 holes in the back of the chair. The other remaining 4 short screws are meant to attach the front legs to the seat. And second warning - while attaching the back of the chair to the seat, it is better to screw in all 5 screws at the same time (meaning, you'd screw in one screw little bit, then the next one, then another and so all 5; then you do it again and go in rounds until all are tight. The thing is that while assembling my first chair, I screwed in only 4 long chairs at the same time, adding the 5th, short screw, at the end. And screwing in the 4 long screws was physically challenging because the screw holes are at different angles, by design. But I realized the importance of the 5th screw when it shifted the two pieces (the seat and the back part) and properly aligned all 5 holes, and suddenly the long screws were penetrating with ease and all the way in. When I assembled the second chair, I did all 5 at the same time, and mama mia, how much easier it was. Also, in my experience with these chairs, it is best not to use power screwdriver nor any other kind of similar tools. The tool that comes with the chairs is the best of them (for several reasons), just don't forget to use gloves and alternate longer leg with short one. Power screwdrivers could be even damaging by forcing the screws in the "off" direction (or maybe it just me).

Why did you pick this product vs others?: These chairs are so pretty! The light gray color is really nice, feels sturdy and seat is comfy. They were relatively easy to put together, with minor blips (our fault). I was happy that the legs are a natural unfinished color as I plan to paint them silver. They came in one box and arrived in excellent condition. Love the back design of them. Happy with purchase!

We purchased a set of 2 of these chairs to see how we liked them. Assembly went pretty well, and my husband was able to knock off the little plastic disks on the bottom of the legs. We replaced them with those felt furniture pads instead. These have worked well with our hardwood floors. The chairs are very comfortable, and this was a priority for us. They look pretty cute, too. As soon as the chairs arrived, I started looking on Amazon for some type of cover to protect the fabric. I have not purchased one yet. I think if you want to get a slipcover, be sure to read the reviews to make sure you aren't getting something too bulky. Also, note how the back of the chair "curls" back a bit at the top, so that may impact how the slipcover fits. After trying out the chairs for over a month, we decided to get a set of 2 more. These also came in good condition- pretty consistent with the other set. The only thing is one of the chairs was a little harder to assemble because the holes didn't completely align. However, it was resolved and all the chairs are working well. We drape something over the bottom of the chairs if we are worried about spills. I am not sure how well stains would wash out. Before we bought these chairs, we tried out chairs in different furniture stores. We found many others pretty pricey or not that comfortable. They arrived quickly and in good condition. Just give them a day or so to out gas first.

So we bought one set of these chairs to try with a new dining room table. Quite surprised at the quality of these for a set of put-together chairs. they are comfortable and well designed. Fairly easy to assemble. Have seen comments on here about a slight wobble from one of the legs being shorter. Just read the instructions. If you assemble it correctly you wont get that. I tightened up the seat to the back first then with the front legs loosely hand tightened, you can set the chair on the floor and get it all level. Then reach under and tighten one of each front leg bolts enough to keep them in place. Flip it again for easier access and tighten everything up. Done. We liked the first pair so well we ordered a second pair. My only problem was that the legs didnt match our table. The table is reclaimed wood so it's very gray while the chair legs were almost blonde with a pickle glaze on them. So i came up with a solution i will share in case anyone else has the same problem. I hand sanded the legs with 220 grit sandpaper, then took a stiff wire brush to them to get the rest of the stain/glaze out of the texture of the wood. Bought a can of Varathane Weathered Wood Accelerator and hit them with that. 3 coats later i had the gray i wanted then sealed them. Turned out perfect. I'll attach a picture with 3 of the chair legs refinished and one with the factory finish so you can see the difference. Took a few hours to do, but beats paying hundreds per chair to match the table.

To be honest I didn't think the chairs would be this great! 1. Chair is solid 2. Great color 3. Comfortable seat. For the price it's an excellent purchase. Very easy to assemble, you can't make a mistake.

Cheapest chairs, I could find for my table. Its true value for money. Its comfortable, looks beautiful. i have a big table and they look good with it. Since my table is Expresso color, so i had stained the legs of my chair to match the table. and they look awesome. really looks good with stained legs. I am attaching the pics to give an option to the people who are handy and like to do home renovation projects. I am giving 4 stars, would have give 5 stars if they had allowed us to buy 4 pairs. they limited each buyer to buy only 3 pairs.

I don’t typically write reviews, however for the price these chairs are very good! Very sturdy, nice colour, and easy to assemble. I would purchase again.

I ordered these chairs thinking based on reviews that they would have a supportive spring seat bottom and a velcro cover indicating quality. What I received are chairs with no springs, only a thin wood board under black fabric, with some foam padding on top. No velcro cover either was included nor is there any way to even attach a velcro cover. Also there are staples that aren't apparent at first but when you look more closely, you can see the staples all along the fabric. My chairs were made in Vietnam and I was expecting american made. It seems based on other reviews I received a different model of chair. The instructions say model number c361/c161 but it seems mine are c361. Not sure how well these will hold up since there is no spring support. On the plus side assembly was pretty straightforward, no wobbling at all and they feel sturdy enough. The padded seat is very firm but after sitting for 15 minutes, you begin to feel the wood underneath the padding. Not a good sign since I only received and put together these chairs less than 9 hours ago and barely sat on them for more than a total of 45 minutes. I am in no way a heavyset person. The fabric is very attractive and looks durable aside from how it's attached to the frame with the visible staples. Waiting for a response from Amazon since I can't find a way to contact the manufacturer. A bit dissapointed since I was so excited to receive these chairs and they did not meet my expectations. Still awaiting another set of 2 chairs, will update my review if those are different or if I receive a replacement seat bottom for these ones.
