Beautiful and sturdy chairs. Bought to replace 25 year old whitewash chairs and to match a whitewash table. As luck would have it, the half paneling in the dining room is medium oak and also coordinates with these chairs. Although I've only had them for 4 days, they are very comfortable and the casters much more substantial than I thought from viewing online. Beauty, comfort and functionality. I'm very happy with this purchase and feel it was quite a good value.
