These chairs are made well and have comfy cushions.  Exactly what I was looking for!  Only reason for the 4 stars is that, as other reviewers have noted, the roped back is not comfortable if you sit in them for a long time.  To eat dinner, relax, move around, they are perfect and I'm pleased with the purchase.  But if you need these as your only place to relax and sit outside for long periods of time, you might want a different chair.  Or add a pillow.
