I debated buying these for almost a month. I fell in love with the look of them online and when I took them out of the box I was even more impressed. They are even prettier in person. I purchased the platinum color and it's a light grey and perfect for the look I was going for. The legs are a little tricky to balance like others have mentioned, but it only took an hour to put 8 of them together once we got the hang of it. These chairs are sturdy and quite comfortable. The only thing I worry about is my kids ruining the soft fabric on the chairs because they are messy. I'm going to see if we can scotch guard them though. But my recommendation....buy them!
