I really like these chairs. They arrived in pieces and that threw me off. $600 Chairs shouldn't have to be assembled, in my mind, but guess who went for it anyway? They're very sturdy once assembled, despite my skepticism and pretty easy to put together. They sit firm, but I can see how they'll settle in after some use. The material feels like a really nice quality, the stitching is very well done and the legs are heavy and high quality as well. Zero regrets.
