The chairs are solid and comfortable. They look really nice, too! We have already had multiple people come in and ask where we got them and threaten to steal them for their offices. Don't be surprised if we order more of them. My boss put them together and had a hard time figuring out if they tilted back or not, then eventually learned that you had to pull the handle out in order to unlock the tilt. Super comfy for me; I'm 5'4".
