4.0 out of 5 starsTwo years later and still love them after a simple hardware upgrade
Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2019
These chairs have been a fantastic purchase, especially for the price. They work well for our kids who are young as well as guests who have been upwards of 350lbs.

My one complaint and the only reason for the 4 stars is the poor quality hardware. It's a $5 fix though if you just go to your local hardware store. The bolts attaching the seat to the base come loose every couple months which can make the chairs unstable.

Instead of using the bolts that come with the chair, drop by Home Depot and grab 16 M6-1.00x16MM bolts along with 16 M6 lock washers. Put the lock washer on first, then the stock wide washer, etc. You'll thank yourself later and you'll have ended up with 4 great chairs at less than $100.

1.0 out of 5 starsMoldy and Contaminated Wood! Tip Over, Break Easy
Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2019
WILL UPDATE ONCE REPLACEMENTS RECEIVED
One of two sets came completely covered in mold. Other set was fine, though as others have mentioned, legs are uneven and feel unfinished. No way there would have been mold had the legs been properly finished with poly...
I've already bought a replacement set and will update my review once I've dealt with returning the first. I realize that two sets are not a good sample size, but major inconvenience to repack and return, and wait for slow customer service.

UPDATE:
Replacement set also had surface mold, though much less. We took extra time cleaning and disinfecting prior to assembly.

2nd Update:
They tip over if a child doesn't sit perfectly still in them...
So we moved our 8 to a commercial property. They are being broken at a pace of about 1 every week or two with normal use. The screws also constantly fall out.
I bought another pack of 4 and used loctite on all of them. Screws are holding, but chairs still braking. Of the 12 (16 counting the returns), we are down to 9. I'm ordering a different type of chair now, because I expect the remainders will only last a couple more months.
These are basically cheap disposable chairs. If you are single or a couple and with under 200 lbs, these are serviceable as dining chairs, but I personally will never buy again.

2.0 out of 5 stars It's cheap for a reason
Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2018
Color: WhiteVerified Purchase
If you want high quality chairs look elsewhere.
The GOOD: the shape is comfy and the assembly was quick. The plastic base where the screws go in is thicker than others and that prevents squeaking.

The BAD: the legs are of uneven length, will have to play with the rubber pads on the bottom to prevent wobbling.
The legs are also not splayed out as much as my other similar style chair from another vendor and is therefore not as stable. Both my kids tipped over while climbing into the chair.
Also the legs are rough to the touch and appear unfinished, feels splintery.
Finally, the legs come with a plastic wrap to protect them during transport, unfortunately the legs are pre-assembled with the plastic on them. Good luck removing the wrapping!

2.0 out of 5 stars THESE ARE VERY LOW CHAIRS
Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2022
Color: BrownVerified Purchase
Just received these and the first thing I noticed out of the box is how horribly short the legs are. I didn't even think to check the height since product description says these are "ergonomic" and a good height. I have gone and checked all my chairs in my house, including a kitchen chair, and none are this low so that means this product is below standard height. I'm 5'6" and sitting in a low chair is uncomfortable for me. I see that a handy person gave advice for lifting the height with PVC but I don't understand the details and am very frustrated that I have to return these and start all over again. I rated this overall as a 2 because I thought they packed the product well, but now of course I've got to put it all back IN the box. Ugh. Very disappointed. :-(

Cheaply made. These chair fall over constantly when people stand up. The backs are very weak. Definitely made to look at only. Not good for daily use.

2.0 out of 5 stars Consider your floor surface with these chairs.
Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2018
Color: WhiteVerified Purchase
The chairs look nice. However most of the screw covers don't stay on. Also, I had to re-tighten most of the screws and decided Loc-tight would be beneficial. Loc-tight helps to keep the screws from loosening. The chairs are being used in my dining room which has vinyl plank flooring. We had to get a rug because they slipped and tipped over if you leaned too far in the chair (as children will do). On one occation an adult ended up on the floor while helping a toddler into their lap due to the chair slipping out from under them....not cool. The rug has kept them from slipping. The price was good but price isn't everything. :(

2.0 out of 5 stars You get what you pay for.
Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2020
Color: WhiteVerified Purchase
I’ve had these chairs awhile now, so I feel like it’s been ample time and I can write a fair review.

Let’s start with the look at the price point. If that were the only criteria for this review, I would have given 5 stars. But...

Randomly, I will find the screws and washers on the floor. Like, no one has even sat in the chair for a significant amount of time and they just decide to fall apart. So strange.

Then there is the “fart” issue. The chairs make a sound that very much mimics a toot. Which, makes my kids laugh, but can be very uncomfortable for guests.

The last thing I would like to point out is that, although I haven’t tested it, I feel like there is a very small weight limit to these chairs. I mean, we’re like a family of hobbits, so it’s fine for us, but anyone who is a little larger, I would not feel comfortable telling them that these chairs are stable.

2.0 out of 5 stars Easy to clean and assemble. Very modern. Might be dangerous for young kids. Flips over
Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2020
Color: WhiteVerified Purchase
We purchased 8 of these for our dining room to replace old flakey pleather ones. These are very affordable and looks great, very modern. They were fairly easily to assemble, comfortable and easy to clean.

However, I do not recommend them if you have young kids, toddlers. These are so light weight that they can be flipped over, very easily. My 18months likes to climb and often tips them over. My almost 4 years old sits on them like adults, but of course, does not sit still. She would fall off the chair because the chair loses balance. Even I had almost fallen over couple times because the chair lost balance when not seated completely centered. This never happens to me or my kids with our old chairs.

2 of the 8 chairs also wobble a little bit.

Overall, I would not purchase again.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not working in our homeschool room!!
Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2020
Color: BlackVerified Purchase
I had read lots of reviews on chairs and finally decided on these Furmax Pre-Assembled Modern Style Dining Chair set. We wanted to replace swivel chairs in our homeschool room so these seemed perfect. They seem to be tipped easily. It seems if you lean forward on these chairs in just the slightest way, they slip out from under you. At first I thought it might be because our daughter's feet weren't flat on the floor that it kicked out from under her, tipping forward and banging her chin off of her desk. But then it happened to one of our other older children. Same thing...the chair seemed to just slip out from under her and tip completely forward. Last week, this also happened to my husband. It seems like the legs/leg assemble is mounted too far back on the seat making for a big overhang towards the front with no support under the front edge. If I still had the packaging, I would be sending these back. We are so disappointed about these chairs!!

2.0 out of 5 stars 1 wobbly chair
Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2021
Color: WhiteVerified Purchase
I love the look of these and they were easy to assemble. I like that they came with locking washers to help keep them secure. I was surprised that the L brackets that connects the chair to the legs weren't straight upon arrival. You need a wrench if you want to tighten them after they've been connected to the chair (not sure if you're supposed to tighten them - wasn't addressed in the assembly directions). The backs of the chairs had more "give" than I was expecting, but they'll still be fine for the kiddos and most adults (not sure about heavier adults leaning back though). My biggest complaint is that one of the sets of legs isn't level, so the chair is wobbly. I know they're not expensive chairs, but really would have liked them all to be level. With the exception of the one wobbly chair, they look and function really well.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not safe for young kids, very light and tippy
Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2022
Color: WhiteVerified Purchase
These chairs are very nice looking, easy to clean, and easy to assemble, but their pros stop there. They are cheap (you get what you pay for). I feel like I'll break them by leaning back too far, and they're light... My 3 year old climbs into it easily, but if he or his 9 month old sister kicks against the table, they'll fall over backward.

They'll look fine, but I should have paid extra and got something better quality. I'll keep them but I won't let the kids use them.

2.0 out of 5 stars Screws keep falling off......
Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2020
Color: WhiteVerified Purchase
Dont purchase. Looked the same as some others that I got from amazon a while back BUT from another seller and these have a design flaw: the screws that attach the legs FALL OFF ALL THE TIME!!!

Before you say anything, I assembled correctly, and even used a screwdriver SEVERAL times to tighten the screws. Nothing works! They just keep falling off every certain time after the chair has been used enough. I have kids in the house, I guess that doesn't makes it easier on these poor chairs.
In conclusion, don't get them, especially if you are gonna be rough on them. Only PRO is that they do look cute.
