Hercules Series "X" Back Metal Restaurant Chair, Modern Upholstered Armless Dining Chair for Restaurants and Kitchens, Black

Super sturdy but not too heavy! Finally some furniture of quality that is reasonably priced and delivered to my door. If you are replacing kitchen chairs every five years like I was, buy these and you won’t have to replace them ever again!

I needed a sturdy "task" chair and this fits the bill. I like the style of the chair and the fact that it is one solid piece and has no parts or joints to become loose or wobbly over time. I saw some complaints about scratches and scuffs upon delivery and was a little concerned but they must have improved their packaging for shipping. My chair was wrapped with a foam strip that was wound literally over every inch of the chair. The seat was also wrapped and then shrink wrapped to the inside of the chair back. There was also a sturdy cardboard piece between the vinyl seat and the frame for protection and this is where the four screws were taped in a heavy duty zipper type bag clearly labeled, "PARTS". My chair did not have one scratch. The wood seat which has a firm padding and a vinyl cover comes with the four screws to attach it to the chair frame. It was super easy "assembly" and it is nice to have a solid built chair. The seat seems to be the only thing that might ever have to be replaced or rather reupholstered. The back of the chair is not very high (the description states 32.2 inches tall) but there are others in this line that are taller so be sure to pay attention to the overall chair height if that makes a difference to you. I would recommend this chair to a friend and would buy it again!

I needed a work out chair. This is a very strong and sturdy armless chair that works great. Easy to assemble and looks nice too.

The chairs, when they weren't defective or scraped & scratched up, are great. They're sturdy, comfortable, and look really pretty. And, technically, the price is great (again, when they don't arrive defective, scraped, or scratched). Out of the 8 chairs I ordered, most of them had some little dings (that I could fix with a sharpie), however, two were in such incredibly bad shape (torn cushion, oil stain on cushion, undeniable scratches I couldn't possibly fix, uneven legs) that I had to return them (and, unfortunately, one of the ones I had to return was the replacement for the first return--very annoying!!!!!). The packaging is awful--they wrap the chair up, kind of mummy-like --which should protect the legs and back, but then they put NOTHING else in the huge box with it, so the chair bounces around to the degree that one of the boxes arrived with two of the chair legs sticking OUT of the box (amazingly, that chair was still in okay shape). Many of the dings and scratches actually don't seem to have come from the packaging, and had to have happened before the mummy-wrapping, though a few of the dings do look like they happened in shipping. I mention all this, despite loving the chairs, because returning them is a HUGE pain the the you-know-where, since the boxes they come in are huge and bulky and re-wrapping the chair is a pain too. I'm committed to the chairs, as I have 7 okay ones right now (two with dings I'm not happy about, but can learn to ignore) and I want a set of 8 so my fingers are crossed that the next replacement they send will be one of the good ones. The chairs are very easy to put together (just like one of the other reviewers, I just lined up the cushion with the seat flipped upside down on my dining room table, and once it was even, pushed the screws in hard enough to get them to start screwing in (though not doing them up too tight because I did have a couple lose their grip when I did them past the point of too tight, though the chairs seem to be fine even though that happened). They are, obviously, nicely priced, very comfortable, look great with my table, and are very sturdy, but only take the risk to purchase them if you're willing to go through the legwork and frustration to re-pack a few of them, return them, and wait for new ones that you may also have to return. Or get out your mega sharpie, metal file, and needle and thread to fix the dings you may receive. I am very happy with the passable chairs and am looking forward to the day when I forget what an annoyance and disappointment it's been to return the really damaged ones.

Stong and beautiful chairs

Good price and set

I was extremely disappointed that the seats were not attached to the chair bases and there were no drill holes That was not mentioned in the description. One of the seat tops had a huge mark carved out of it. Poor quality control. Returns have to be paid by the consumer.

Very tiny. Made for kids table. Not for a dinning room size table.

Good solid, sturdy chair, just what I wanted!

Chair not usable without the screws to attach seat. No success in getting the screws from company.
