Don't Worry- They're Worth Your Dollars.
I already have a worry problem, and it doesn't help that I read the product reviews. I bought a set of 4 of the (aqua) Bistro chairs for $80- which had to be an oops, because the next day the price was adjusted. Remember I mentioned the worry problem? My worry problem was like, "that had to be a typo, and you're only going to get 2 chairs, not four." Nope- one day later than the estimated two day shipping- a large, slightly flimsy box came with 4, perfectly wrapped, aqua -in-color chairs.
So, let me address the negatives- one of the reviews said that the seats were a little narrow. No one in my family would be described as petite- words more like "curvy", "big shouldered", and "birthing hips" have all been used to describe me. All four of my family's butts fit in these chairs rather nicely.
One of the reviews said the chairs were slightly green...uhhh, the definition of aqua is: a light bluish-green color.
One of the negative reviews complained there were no directions. Well, none of us have PhD's, but we weren't too confused with the four screws attached to the bottom half of each chair, and which way to attach the top half, or which direction to turn the screws.
One of the reviews said it was difficult to screw the top half of the chair to the bottom half- nope. We had a little paint bubble inside the little thingy that you turn the screw into, chipped it off with a little screwdriver, and voila- insta-chair!
A couple of the reviews said that their chairs arrived damaged. I dunno about this? Maybe the magic o' our Irish immigrant ancestors allowed our chairs to arrive undamaged on St. Patrick's Day (who was not Irish)? Whatever the case, our children will remedy that quickly, I'm sure.
A pro not previously addressed: Each chair has a wonderful ergonomically designed fart vent on the seat, allowing for those SBD's we're all just trying to get by. My husband says they're to allow for water to drain if you use the chairs outside, but I know better.
*I'd take a picture of our cute chairs at the table, but if your family is anything like ours, the table is the drop zone for ALL things, and I was too lazy to put everything on the table on the kitchen counter, and then back again.
