I purchased these chairs as an addition to my new home.  I was a bit hesitant because I was afraid they would not be sturdy enough.  Though I am happy with the style, the beautiful rich dark  chocolate brown faux leather seating, the chairs are in fact not sturdy.  It's easy to fall forward and there is not enough space for the buttocks area, so a bit uncomfortable. The grand kids however love them.
I chose not to return as they are a nice looking piece.
