Chairs look very nice and seem to be very sturdy. The color of the wood is darker than expected, but it looks really good. The chair cushion is also a shade or two darker than pictured, but again, I love it. I’m actually glad that it’s a bit darker. It’s a nice ‘tweed-y’ or woven look fabric. The chair cushions are VERY firm.   My 19 yo son assembled 6 chairs in about 90 minutes.
