I am so pleased with these chairs. We recently had a very large custom table made for our new house and I needed chairs that matched. These are perfect as they have a small footprint, work with the Mission style table and are of the same material. They are very sturdy and quite comfortable. I did not feel a cushion was necessary as the seat is contoured. A dab of wood glue in the joints during assembly would most likely make these already strong shares even better. I plan to do so on the rest of them when they arrive. 

Pros: Solid and comfortable. 
Cons: Color is not quite as golden as in the pictures. It is in fact a bit more dull.
