These little chairs are just the right style and fit to create a sitting area at one end of our kitchen. They are quite light weight and I do not think they would be a good choice for an area that gets heavy use, as I question long term durability, but they do feel quite sturdy when sitting in them . Not a good choice for large or tall people. They have firm cushioning and the back is low but comfortable. We love the fabric. They are a perfect choice for smaller spaces. Assembly was simply putting on the legs and delivery was quick. Very happy with this purchase.
