I actually love these chairs: they are extremely comfortable (deep seat accommodates even bigger folks). They are attractive. They stack well and easily. They have little plastic caps on the feet so they don't scrape when you push the chair out. The price for the quality is the best I've found. 4 stars because: they're not really dark grey. I don't mind, it's a good color but if I was expecting deep, steel grey I would be disappointed. They're definitely blue-ish. The picture online is a fair representation. And as others have said, the pattern leaves marks on the backs of bare legs. The trade off is worth not having water pool on the seat during rain but I can imagine they'll get a bit uncomfortable during a long dinner and drinks hang out. We're very happy with the purchase.
