We really like these chairs so far, although they are for our new build home which isn't finished yet, so they're currently just sitting in the closet of our apartment. But we did try them out and even my hubby, who is a bigger guy, said they feel sturdy. They arrived right when they said they would and were easy enough to bolt together. They are a little narrow, but we expected that from the other reviews and I think it's just the style of the chair. My only real complaint is that they are not really "gunmetal" as expected. They are not really a color at all. My husband, who is a metal fabricator, said it just looks like brushed metal and clear coat. I think it will still look good with our new kitchen, but just a heads up if you were looking for more of a deeper charcoal gunmetal, these are definitely not it. Overall though, I'm really excited about these chairs!
