My Husband put them together and had no problems.

Really Happy with them...especially as they were $59.99 from $119:-)"

Nice Looking Chair, Easy to Put Together

Date:February 19, 2011

"Just bought this chair. I read previous reviews about misaligned holes and was ready for some minor drilling. I was pleased to find that everything fit well, just use common sense and don't tighten everything until the end.

Chair looks nice. We're happy with the quality and 1/2 off price."

Happy with ours

Date:November 21, 2008

"We bought four of these a year ago and are mostly happy with them. You do have to be careful that the backs don't rub against anything or you will wear away the leather at the seams. They do look nice."

Excellent value overrides any other issue

Date:October 5, 2008

"COST & VALUE
You could spend a fortune on furniture and dining chairs are no exception. Boutique stores have variations on the "parson's chair" that could cost you thousands of dollars for a set.

I'm on a budget so boutique shops weren't an option for furnishing my place. I do, however, have a sense of style and I'm quality conscious so dumpster diving and the Thrift store are out.

The Debbie Travis Parson's Chair costs about as much as you'd pay for smaller, less-comfortable, vinyl-padded chairs at major furniture retail chains. I bought mine on sale at Canadian Tire for $69.99 and have a set of four in my dining room.

BICAST LEATHER
The covering material, bicast ("bycast") leather looks and feels great. Bicast is a step up from synthetics; it's made from "split" leather laminated with polyurethane. You're touching the synthetic component when you sit on bicast.

The down side of this is bicast won't wear as well as top grain leather. The upshots: leather-look at a lower price, resistant to spills, much more durable than fully synthetic covering. For reference, many major retailers are selling bicast leather: Structube, Ikea and the Brick.

IN THE BOX
Back to the Debbie Travis Parson's Chairs. Setup instructions are a bit vague but you really don't need them. There are 10 bolts, washers and split washers, 1 wooden peg, a small tube of wood glue and 2 legs tucked under the chair seat, an ingenious use of space. The chair back and rear legs are all one piece.

ASSEMBLY
Assembly involves inserting the wooden peg in a matching hole on the seat portion and aligning the seat portion with the back section. This is best done with the back laying on the ground, face up.

The instructions indicate the wood glue is for the larger hole the wood peg goes into on the back section. I don't see ANY use in this: the chair back and seat are going to be held together with SIX large bolts; this tiny bit of glue around the peg become irrelevant by the time the chair is put together.

All bolts need to have a split washer and a large flat washer slid on them, split first, flat next. The flats distribute the pressure over a large section of wood you're bolting to, the split washer provides tension on the bolt head to prevent backing out.

The 4 long bolts go through the corners to hold the REAR legs on; they're needed because there's more wood to go through due to the rear legs being part of the chair back. The rest of the bolts are identical short bolts and simply go into the remaining holes and hold the front legs in place.

Before completely snugging down the bolts, put the chair on a flat tile or wood floor and sit in it to make sure everything is aligned.

SNAGS
With ONE of the four chairs I bought, a single bolt hole was mis-aligned and needed to be reamed out. The result of not reaming would be a cross-threaded bolt, difficult to impossible to turn.
One of the chair backs had a scuff mark on it out of the box. I could have returned and exchanged it but it didn't go deep enough to compromise the chair so I keep it.

COMFORT & STYLE
Very comfortable. These chairs are well padded and offer firm support with more give than a straight wooden chair. The bicast leather actually matches a couch I bought in bicast leather from Ikea. I has a rich look to it, noticeably moreso than a synthetic covered chair.

CONCLUSIONS
These chairs are an EXCELLENT value. You could easily spend three times as much on a comparable chair and it wouldn't be difficult to spend five times as much at a boutique shop. Try these chairs out in store to make sure you're comfortable in them. Buy some bicast-specific leather cleaner ("Absorb Bycast" at Ikea) and use it regularly. Check the chairs when you buy them for flaws; Canadian Tire is happy to exchange defective items for good ones. Buy with confidence!"

Poorly Manufactured

Date:August 29, 2008

"Bought two of these chairs. The first one the leather on the seat was discoloured and looked stained. The second one the back of the chair was all puckered. We had to combine parts from 2 chairs to make one good chiar. Wanted to purchase 4 chairs in total. Have been to 4 Canadian Tire stores and no one has any more in stock. They show online and even in the stores that they have them, until you actually do a physical search then nothing. I have a raincheck for the other chairs, but am losing faith that I will actually receive them and then will they be damaged also. Would not advise anyone to purchase these."

So far so good.

"We bought only one chair, about a year ago, and have not had any of the problems mentioned in other reviews. The chair still looks good, seems durable, and has a good finish."

Price is Right

Date:April 14, 2008

"This product is a great buy if your looking for some swank looking dining room chairs to go with your expensive table. The set up was a bit of a hassel due to the chair legs lining up with the pegs, but they do work with enthusiastic encouragement. So far I have had no problems with them and am happy with my purchase."

Frustrating, Low Quality

Date:January 13, 2008

"We initially liked these chairs because they were wider and more comfortable than other comparable ones, and the price was good. We realized that they were not going to be top quality, but we were disappointed and frustrated by the shopping experience. I think we made 3 trips total and went through 7 chairs in order to get 4 good ones. On our first shopping trip they had only 2 left so we bought them. Both had to be returned. They had one leg shorter than the other which caused it to wobble. Another time one had packing tape stuck to it which had ripped the leather off and a few more that wobbled. We returned them as damaged, but the one store we went to in Peterborough put the exact ones back on the shelf (we discovered this when we went back looking for more). After that we went to another store and the customer service lady said that this practice should not have happened and admitted that they had had several returned due to the same reasons as I had specified (uneven leg lengths/wobbling, etc). Maybe we were crazy to keep going back and trying but now that we finally got 4 good ones, we are enjoying them. They are pretty comfortable for long sitting periods and we've had a few positive comments on the way they look. I have lightly dusted them with a damp cloth without incident. We have a cat, so there are already nail scratches on them from when she has jumped off the chairs, but this is to be expected and why we didn't want to buy expensive. If you do choose to buy these chairs be very careful and check them over carefully. Don't be surprised if you have to take some back and go through several before you find the amount that you need. If I were Debbie Travis I would not be putting my name on these chairs, or I'd be contacting the manufacturer ASAP to fix the problems. I would only recommend this to someone if they have patience, and are looking for an entry level chair at a good price."
