Unfinished Wood Mission Dining Chair

I ordered four unfinished Tall Mission Chairs and was very happy with the ease with which they went together, their sturdiness, and their look so I also ordered two arm chairs for my dining room. The first one I put together went together easily. On the second one, I was unable to get the left arm attached. The holes in the chair did not line up with the arm. I spoke with Home Depot and a replacement arm was ordered from the manufacturer. When this arrived, it still did not fit. Obviously, the difficulty was with the chair rather than the arm. One of the back slats on this chair was also loose. I have decided to return both arm chairs as I am hesitant to order another arm chair which may have the same difficulties. Additionally, the design of the armchairs is poor as the the arms are too low to rest your elbows on. I have put two inch foam and upholstery on the wooden seats which accentuates the problem. I had originally thought I would just have to put an upholstered pad on top of the arms but this is difficult because the arms are so short from front to back. I was pleased with the customer service from Home Depot but not thrilled with the design nor quality control on this product.

Solid chair easy to assemble. Nice styling

Strecher rail for bottom of chair was cut at wrong angle. Did not want hassle of disasbling the chair and taking it back.

Once I got the screws sorted out it went together without any problems. Its a solid chair, the wood itself is pretty featureless so we painted it.

solid

The chair comes with good instructions, they were easy to assemble, at a fair price. I gave the chairs three stars because of the type of wood the chairs are made of. The chairs don't absorb stains very good.. the stain works better after being sanded

Nice, well built chair.
