We moved into a new home in May and had gotten rid of our previous dining room furniture. I spent lots of time looking online and shopping locally for a table, sideboard and chairs. I'm not a big fan of 'sets' of furniture, but I also wanted a unified look. I spent lots of time and eventually decided on the table, which we bought locally. Then, after having my eye on a particular style of chair I had identified months ago, I suddenly came across this Side Chair. It seemed perfect. One of the things I checked about various chairs, was the weight limit... This chair has a weight limit of 275 pounds. Some chairs had a limit of 225 pounds. I felt this was a key thing, as I would not want to have a guest that was heavy-set and feel that they would break the chair! Turns out that these chairs were exactly as expected... color, quality and well packed. They look great with the table.
