Great chairs for the price. Very sturdy and a centre piece in and of themselves. These stools however are a bit darker than the picture, and have a somewhat olive undertone in certain lights. I wouldn't recommend putting near another "beige" item. The chairs are sturdy as long as you have patience putting them together.. takes about 25-35 min per chair. One of our chairs (ordered 3) came with a leg that was slightly shorter than the rest, and one chair was missing a screw (i just used some we already had to complete it). The seats are very large and comfortable. True to measurement size. Seats are very comfortable. Overall, I'm glad I bought these !
