I LOVE these chairs! I have them in my office, right off the main entry of our house - so eveyone sees them when they walk in. I get many complements from "wow, I love those chairs," to "I always wanted chairs like that." (Classic, timeless - who wouldn't? :-)  The contrast of off-white and black is stunning. They look and feel super high quality.  They are a little firm I will say.  Works for an office though. They have broken in over the last couple months with use, which has been welcome.
