Beautiful chair, very sturdy, almost heavy, and well constructed.  Comes very well packaged, with easy instructions for assembly.  It comes in two fully-built pieces, that just need to be screwed together (the bottom/4 legs is one piece, and the seat/seat back is the other piece).  They are comfortable for our family.  The black color tends to show off grease/fingerprint marks, but wipes away easily.  It doesn't show much in the photos, but the front edge of the seat is a straight line across, not rounded at all, but still comfortable overall.  We ordered 5 chairs - one arrived with a noticeable crack down the middle of the seat, which was quickly and easily replaced at no cost to us after a phone call.  Great customer service!  Very pleased!
