For beginners, Karl did not use the big ass staples to hold the front legs
like the factory did, these chairs are far superior to the factory sets.

Exactly my point! His is a far superior product. Most people would not
notice the difference. I think I would. Just because I get nosy and stick
my head underneath the wood furniture item to see what it is made of. If
they looked identical, and I just looked under one, I wouldn't notice. But
if I looked at two and saw a difference, I would immediately investigate al
the chairs.

I am also sensitive to colors. And if the finish was just a little off, I
would probably notice it.

I should mention that I knew a guy who worked for a local finish company.
His job was to match a finish with anything that somebody brought through
the door. He was very good. The finishes were tricky and involved. But if
you wanted a match, they would mix it up for you. You would bring in some
scrap and they would put several different mixes onto the wood. A day or
two later, they would have it perfect. Or if you were in a hurry, they
would dry the finish with a hair dryer. I have seen a number of repaired
and replacement furniture with absolutely perfect matches. He had an eye. I
could never do that.
