The chairs are very solid, but the colors aren't really representative. The website doesn't say describe accurately the color of the chair seat. When I received the package, it said off white with cherry.  It would be helpful to have the CHERRY color of seat stated on the website. I wouldn't have bought these in that case. Even so, I am excited about my purchase and think they look great in my casual dining area even though they don't EXACTLY match my dining table it's close enough.
