Beautiful wood.  Sturdy.  Very comfortable for people of all sizes.  Evokes Mid-Century modern, but with a completely contemporary feel. Perfect height for a standard kitchen counter. Fit and finish is great. I'll mention that these chairs are not easy or quick to assemble.  Note: None of the holes for the various wood screws are pre-drilled, and you really need a drill to create pilot holes in the hard wood for the wood screws (12-per-chair).  The directions though are quite clear and everything is clearly labeled.
