These are cute little chairs! I love the design and the wood seats. They feel sturdy, though I think they're only up to 200 lbs. weight limit. They are really pretty in person. The back bit is a bit narrow (with the 2 metal bars), so if you're on the larger side like myself, they're not great to sit in for a long time if you're scooted all the way back. However, I sit in this everyday for meals and I like it. I read others complaining about the welding, so I checked that out first thing, and it looked good to me. No assembly required for these. My kids like them and they're light-weight.
