Do I have to remove the small black "covers" from the bottom of the chair seats before I assemble the chairs? Please explain how you assembled these!!

Its very simple, common sense really to assemble, however it is very difficult because they don't line up properly...

The cushion covers are not removable. If your worried about stain & dirt, may I suggest a Scotch guard product.Our chair is only used by myself & my husband. No pets or grandchildren are on it, for its in our bedroom.To remove the covers you would have to cut the seems, there's no zipper.

no, you screw the two pieces together. I'm actually selling my chairs....I really like them, but I'm changing the colors in the room I have them in. Great price for these chairs!

The short answer is... I don't have cushions for the chairs. I bought two different sizes, neither worked. I may end up making cushions or do without. The chairs look and feel fine without them.

They are completely unfinished when they arrive. I put on a few coats of teak oil for color and let that completely dry for a week. After that I put on 2 or 3 coats of oil based varnish. They chairs look great. My personal opinion would be not to paint the chairs because they have a nice grain.

The chairs are made of a high quality plastic wicker. The seat bottoms are the same plastic wicker. You would need the fabric cushions to be comfortable. I have had the set for over 5 months and no problems....actually a rare good buy and worth the purchase price. About a 3 hour assembly though.

No, but my one suggestion would be to add wood glue as you put in the screws. My chairs are a little wobbly now, and I wish I had done that.

I understand they go in to secure the back to the seat. If they are not put in then if you pick up by the back it might come apart without those screws to secure them. I think there is more info if you go to the manufacturer's website.

I wish I would have seen these comments before trying to assemble ours! NO manual and we had a heck of a time getting them put together. Same issue with the holes not lining up, I'm wondering if it would have been easier if we didn't tighten the screws all the way until they were all in....I don't know? We nearly stripped our screws but muscled through it and got them assembled. Really cool chair; just a pain to assemble.

Bonnie - The chairs come unfinished (raw cedar). You then have several options. First just leave them unfinished and they will "gray out" after a couple of years. The other is as fancy as you want you could actually stain and then seal them. The second option requires some ongoing maintenance to keep them looking perfect. Hope this helps.

They arrive unattached (you assemble) so I would think you could re-cover them. Not sure how hard it would be to unattach them and re-cover later.

You can removed them, I decided to take mine off after it was put together because it kept hitting the wall where my desk was position. when you remove it, it will not have any effect on the stability of the chair.

you have to just put the legs on...it's easy..except one leg on one chair is off...seems to be a problem with most of them...it's a nice set and you could live with the shorter leg...we are.

When I bought my chairs, the assembly instructions were inside plastic bags that also had all the screws. If you lay all the parts out by size, you will even be able to figure it out. Good luck. Vera

Did you take the black thing off the base? We didn't take that off before putting the top on and the chair would not raise or lower. We had to use plyers to get the black thing on the top of the base off, but once it was off and the top was on the chair does raise and lower. Good luck!

Yep, because the chair comes unassembled, you put the casters on initially. They are easy to remove also.
