I searched FOREVER for the right airy black dining chairs to go with our white mid-century tulip table. I'm so happy with these, they go really well with our leather end chairs that we use at the ends of the oval table. They are a lower profile, which is ideal for a tulip table. They seem solid and well made. I have noticed they do chip easily as other reviewers have pointed out...but I just filled in the spot with a Sharpie - no problem. The price is really good on these too.
