Modway Eon Natural Elm Wood Kitchen and Dining Room Chair in Black - Fully Assembled

I wanted to buy a pair of original Thonet #18 chairs (the classic chair these are based on) but the are $200-250 a piece. I decided to give these a try and I am pleased. The only con is that the wood is not the MOST solid. Doesn't feel cheap per se, but I did have to send one back since it arrived with a cracked leg. Satisfied nonetheless.

First, I want to start out by saying I have been a loyal Amazon Prime member for many years. I have never rated a product less than 5 star. This chair gets a 1 star. Packaging and shipping were great. Style and design is great. But the chair absolutely REEKS of chemical spray paint. I’ve never experienced anything like it in a furniture delivery. It’s been airing out on my porch for 6 hours and still SMELLS like it could catch on fire at any minute. I’ve wiped it down twice with soap and water, and it makes no difference. I’m still not sure whether I’m going to have to throw it away entirely.

Could not afford an original style bentwood chair but these come close at a very reasonable price. Come assembled so it’s take out of box and use. Very happy with purchase. Mine did not have paint or lacquer smell as a few have mentioned.

The chairs look nice and seem to be good quality. They came already together. However, they smell terribly of chemicals or paint. To the point that I had to put the chairs in the basement because they made the entire house smell like chemicals. Shipping also took 3 months but the seller did communicate during asking if I still wanted them. Hoping the seller gives me money back for them because these chairs are useless with the way they smell. Also, it seems like the black chairs are the ones that smell bad and the reviews.

Used this for dance as a prop and it was perfect. Very stable and durable.. minor problems with the paint peeling but other than that it was great!
