We have two of these we use for extra seating around our oval dining table, as it technically seats 8, but more than 6 is tight. These are only 16" wide which is why we chose them. They look quite comparable to more expensive chairs, however, they are slippery and slightly pitched, so that there is a sensation that you might slide off the seat. Not a big deal as we only use them on occasion, but I would not recommend them for everyday use.
