Weight was 50% less than I thought. Okay I consider the material very good. The design and eye appeal set these apart. The only thing I have against them is that when you go to weight and specification in the descriptions it quotes 42.95 lbs. But I feel it should sate that that in fact is for 2 (TWO) chairs. We have other stools we bought(Yes more expensive) at 61 lbs so we thought this was for one naively . But that's all otherwise they have received compliments. But know that weight is for 2 Okay Thank you.
