I ordered two of these chairs to replace two old chairs which needed reupholstering. I decided that it would be cheaper to replace rather than repair. The new chairs are just as shown and described on the website. If you or your guests are big (especially in the behind) and heavy the chairs probably would not be suitable but otherwise are comfortable and practical. They arrived a day earlier than scheduled and in perfect condition,Pros: Good value for the money. Sturdy. Easy to care for.Cons: Seatpad is slightly smaller than modern chairs, but fine unless you are really big.
