The photos don't do these chairs justice. These chairs are so elegant and beautiful.  They are stylish with some high-end accents on the back.  They are super comfortable too! My spouse put these together and said they took about 15 minutes for two chairs. One of the eight chairs he built had an issue where the nail or screw didn't go all the way through, but he said it wouldn't impact the comfort or stability of the chair. I will say, if you're short (I'm 4'10") your feet won't touch the floor if you sit back in them. I will admit I was hesitant to buy chairs without seeing them and sitting in them in person. They are exactly as described, including the floor to seat top height.  We love these chairs and are so glad we bought them. This was my first purchase from Wayfair, but it won't be the last.
