Flash Furniture HERCULES Series Black Ladder Back Metal Restaurant Chair - Mahogany Wood Seat

These chairs are really perfect kitchen chairs. I’m certain they will never become wobbly due to welded steel construction. The seats don’t have holes pre drilled but that’s easily overcome. They are solid black and just as advertised. The cushion thickness is comfortable. The height is perfect to sit st my kitchen table. They’re are lightweight despite rugged construction. My only regret is not buying 4, deciding to wait another month to afford them because the price went up 30%.

All I wanted in a sturdy chair, perfect for my little set up! I used a drill to screw the seat to the base and it was fast and straight forward process..

No pre drilled holes in the seats for easy assembly

Sturdy, easy to assemble, attractive.

These chair replaced some Eames-style knock-off and Ikea wood chairs in our tiled dine-in kitchen which would frequently slide out from under our guests or were easily tipped over by my son. My main considerations were durability and a desire for heavier chairs. I was looking for hickory schoolhouse chairs, like I had previously seen at Pottery Barn or Lakeshore school supply; however, they were no longer available at the former and approximately $139 each at the latter.When I saw these for approximately $50/chair, I figured I could do much worse and was pleasantly surprised that the powder-coated steel frame is quite sturdy and they seem like they will last a long time, probably longer than the wooden ones I originally wanted. They are heavier but still easy to move around. Their center of gravity is lower than our Ikea chairs because of the steel frame. My wife thinks they look good.My chairs came with appropriate sized screws. The seat is not pre-drilled but I just measured the seat overlap at the front and sides (approximately 3 cm and 0.5 mm, respectively) and used an electric screwdriver drill to fasten them. The steel frame and welds are not perfectly uniform, so it is somewhat tricky. With reasonable care the seats attached just fine, I did 6 in about 2 hours. Even if you are a little bit off, I don't think anyone would notice that the seat is not perfectly centered.UPDATE 4/25/2017: after a few months the wood is still in good condition and wipes clean. The powder-coated metal has not scratched. In short, they are holding up well.UPDATE 5/2019: still going strong. My son spotted the same chairs in a local burger bar - if they can hold up in my house and a restaurant you know they are durable!

Great Chair, strong metal frame and well made wood seat. I purchased one of these a couple of years ago with the redwood seat. it was perfect and the redwood color was a dark brown/red color which matched our wood mission furniture. This year I ordered another chair to match the 1st but the redwood color is now a honey amber color, nothing like what it is shown to be in the photos. I returned it and bought the Mahogony color thinking it would at least be a dark brown but it is more of a dark RED, again nothing like what is shown in the photo. I returned it and tried the Walnut color. Finally I have a dark brown seat color that matches the "redwood" from 2 years ago. The other problem is the packaging is really bad. The 1 st two chairs arrived with the wood seat knocking around unprotected against the metal frame. The 1st chair actually has a couple a big chips in from banging into the frame. If you get the color you want and it arrives without damage it's a great chair and should last for years.

Sturdy- chose these chairs because we have some big family members and our last chairs got wobbly.Easy to wipe down, look nice with wood table.Added floor protectors since I'm renting but didn't look necessary.

Sturdy but seat and frame damaged in multiple areas
