I really like these chairs!  They're solid and strong, yet comfortable and easy to move around as needed.  The color seems to blend well with both gray and taupe.  A purist might fret about the pattern on the seats being a bit lop-sided, but that didn't bother me much.  I like that the pattern is subdued enough for the chairs to be used with a patterned carpet and other furnishings.  I'm glad I bought two rather than one and I highly recommend them.
