These are sturdy chairs and have enforced metal bracing underneath the seat by each leg. These replaced two chairs at our kitchen/dining table, which were getting wobbly when people sat on them. We tried to fix them, but they would eventually come loose. Compared to our other chairs they are slightly smaller in height and the seat, but I knew that buying it as I saw another person's review. Also the color is lighter than the other chairs, but matches the kitchen table perfectly. We have hard wood floors, so we put rubber covers over the feet of the chair, which means I have to lift the chair when I get up. However, I would rather do that than scratch the floor with the chair legs. They are very comfortable and I do have a small cushion on them. I would definitely buy them again if I needed them.
