We purchased 4 of these chairs to go with a glossy white table.  They are high quality.  The base is solid and does not give in or bend at all when you sit in them, which is great.  The packaging was excellent and were easy to put together.  Our only gripe was with the backrest.  Notice that although the backrest is curved, it is horizontal with no lower back support.  That means that when you lean back on this chair you are resting your back on the upper edge of the backrest.  That upper edge is very similar to the armrest of many couches.  It is a hard wood piece with a sharp corner and that doesn't feel comfortable at all.  It's great for training your posture, but it's not for a lounging meal.  In other words, don't mistake the rounded look for rounded comfort
