We love these chairs. They look great with our modern walnut dining table, and the seats are not too wide, so we could fit 12 along just the sides of our 10 foot table. The narrow backs are more contemporary looking than most Windsor chairs. The only negative is that the black paint chips pretty easily. We are not too upset about it, given the extremely reasonable price of these chairs; however, we will have to do some touch ups with a black permanent marker. In our case, they have chipped when they've hit the metal table legs. Also, you definitely need felt on the legs because they scratch hardwood floor very easily.
