Looks sturdy, light enough to carry, and feels comfortable. Setting up four chairs took about half an hour. Incredibly easy. All you have to do is screw the seat directly to the rest of the chair and the metal base has holes dictating where these 4 screws should go in. It provided a clean, polished look to my humble dining room and is the right height for your average dining table. The chairs have been deemed comfortable enough for both myself (petite 5'2") and someone nearly a foot taller and 70 pounds heavier.
