The chairs look great, exactly as pictured. They seem very sturdy which is a big plus. The seats themselves are extra firm which can be a bit annoying at first but I'd rather have firm seats than ones that were too saggy and soft. I had to give 4 stars though due to some damage that one leg on each chair arrived with and due to residue on all the legs that had to be cleaned off. But the damage isn't big and can be lightly sanded and stained to match.
