At this price point, I opened the box and carefully inspected the chairs actually expecting to find some defects that may need repair or replacement. The chairs were PERFECT! Bought for a small chess table in Living Room, and they are surprisingly comfortable too. Sit upright, with just the right amount of lean-back for extended periods sitting. Highly recommend this chair to anyone looking to add comfortable/ small seating to any space. Buying another one for my home office guests now :)
