This is the second set of this chair I have purchased to use around my dining room table. It is sturdy and attractive. The upholstery fabric is good quality and a neutral tone so it does not clash with my set. It is the correct height for the dining table and the seat padding is nice. The only negative is the difficulty opening and closing the chair which may resolve itself as I use them more. I think this may be because it is so sturdy - the mechanism cannot be flimsy. Good value and price!
