These are very lightweight (a plus as I can lift and move them around by myself), but look very elegant and sturdy. They are not very tall (about 20") and so go beautifully with my blue leather sofa and loveseat, which are Italian modern, and quite low. I am using them indoors in a beach-y setting. The wicker is vinyl, rather than a natural product, so they should last a long time. The finish is a nice blend of several colors of grey, so they don't look artificially over-painted. I'm very happy with these and may try to find a matching coffee table.
