I had read that this side chair was very high quality (in looks and in sturdiness) before purchasing it.  Unfortunately, the description and photos did not clearly explain that these are VERY low-backed chairs (more like a cigar club chair vs. a dining chair) and the backs barely rose above the edge of my dining room table.  They also have nail head detailing on the backs (also not pictured) that I really didn't like.  While the color was accurate, the rest of this chair did not meet my expectations at all. We ended up trying it out, however, and the level of comfort they provided was more than enough to convince us to keep them. We have continued to use them now for many years and for different tables and purposes. These ended up being great general chairs and despite still not loving the nail heads, I am grateful we found these.
