I bought two of these as end chairs for my new dining room table.   Oh my goodness, I love them SO MUCH!!!  They are absolutely gorgeous and I am so extremely impressed with the quality and the craftsmanship of them.  The distressing on them is very heavy, and it makes these chairs look as though they have been handed down through generations.  They are even more fantastic than I had hoped they'd be & I have received many exclamations of "Oh, those end chairs are lovely!" from friends and family.  If I win the lottery, I may just replace the 4 black "X" back side chairs and buy the side chairs in black that are the same style as these beautiful arm chairs.  :-)
