these are sturdy, comfortable and look great.  My only complaint is that the finish on the wooden legs isn't very even and one arrived scratched but Wayfair customer service was absolutely painless - I can continue to use the scratched base while I wait for the replacement to arrive.  I do think if the packaging were more heavy duty to withstand shipping there wouldn't have been any problems and I probably wouldn't even have cared about the finish. Would def recommend
