I opted for these as our dining chairs because I needed a lightweight option that was easy to clean. These fit my needs wonderfully. They have a very slight texture, but they are still easy to clean most everything has wiped off with some all purpose cleaner and paper towels up until now. The wooden legs have good plastic endstips so I did not need to attach additional felt pads to prevent them from scratching my flooring. They also have a little flexibility in the backs when you lean back. We have had to tighten the seats a few times but it does not bother us. Id also like to add that if someone sits on the edge and not right in the middle the chairs will fall over which has been a great training tool for my children to get them to properly and in the middle of the chair. Some would see it as a defect but I wanted to point out the potential in that. Overall, very pleased with the quality of these! chairs.
