These chairs are beautiful and are the perfect finishing touch to our recently remodeled reception area.  The seat cushion is a bit stiff, but I hope that means the chairs will hold up well.  We will be purchasing larger pillows as the one that comes with the chair offers no upper back support when sitting all the way back in the chair.  I like that the fabric is soft to the touch - some linen upholstery can be scratchy, but that is not the case with these chairs.  I am very happy with this purchase - they are a great value for the price!
