We bought 6 of theses chairs to use when we convert our console table to a dinning table. So mainly for special occasions versus every day use.  They really looks " elegant" if that isn't too strong a word. The padded seat and quality of the chair makes it seems so much nicer than standard folding chairs. We have used them a few times and they were comfortable enough that we all lingered talking & catching up at the table after the meal was done. Very happy with these chairs and highly recommend them.
