These chairs are solid wood and seem very well made.  Very easy to put together (add legs) and well packaged.  They are a true black color, and show no paint imperfections. (They are completely painted too, no distressing. ) They're light-weight enough to pull out from the table with one hand, but feel sturdy and stable at the same time. . They seem to be the perfect table height. You really can't go wrong if this is the style you are looking for. It feels like a farmhouse/amish or craftsman style chair.  No frills and on the slimmer side.
