I bought these chairs for a dining room table that we made ourselves, and I really didn't want a solid wicker to block the view to the table detail.  The backs of these chairs have more of an open weave so you get a peekaboo view through them, instead of a solid wall of wicker.  Perfect!  So far our second summer with them and they're in great shape!  

Pros: Came assembled, just needed to unwrap and place! Great price!
