I've had these chairs now for almost a year and they are holding up nicely. I tightened the legs twice but other than that they are perfect. These chairs look and feel just like the $400 West Elm chairs at a fraction of the price! As mentioned by others, color is darker (medium gray) than pictured and in a heathered fabric. I knew this going in and I still love them. Legs are sturdy and made of real wood with a beautiful walnut finish but like I said, do loosen over time. Seat is very comfortable. Shipped by expected delivery date and packaging was in good condition. Easy to assemble. Highly recommend!
