I was looking for a chair with a wide bottom. This definitely fit the bill. Ordered two sets to replace ladder back chairs. I have a wooden table that has been in the family for over 40 years and passed back and forth. With these chairs around the table, it will finally stay put. One chair was damaged in the original shipment. When I called customer service, they replaced the one chair with two chairs, since they come two to a box. The chairs are sturdy and I would highly recommend then.
