I LOVE these chairs. My biggest worry was that they would be uncomfortable but my husband got this all put together and surprised me when I got home and the first thing he had to say was "those chairs are actually comfortable!" - and they are! The seat is just average but the back piece feels wide enough to comfortable hold you and doesn't dig in. Very supportive. I also wanted something that felt very sturdy. Some of our family are bigger people and I was worried when they came over if we had light small chairs we might have an issue if they didn't feel sturdy but they don't wobble, they're low enough that there's no movement up top - overall they just work really well. My husband didn't have any complaints about putting these together either. We have 6 and 2 different end chairs and he said he did one and the rest just flew by.
