Ordered the black chairs for my front office. Thought they looked like they would fit right in. And I was right! I would say they are a little firm, but I don't have a problem with that. Before purchasing these chairs, I remember reading some reviews on how hard it is to put them together. It certainly wasn't easy, but the compliments I've received customers on how nice and comfortable they are made it worth the effort. In fact, I plan on purchasing a few more.
