This chair set is great. My boys love it and it holds up mommy and daddy too! I love the simple design. The kids have no problem moving the chairs around to the easel or arts and crafts table. I love how you can put the chairs under the table to conserve space. After seeing how my kids use the chairs, it's clear that you don't need backs to chairs... they don't use the backs, plus they can't tip the chair backwards. They're great. I highly recommend this set.
