for us, 2 cats & a dog included here, these chairs are the perfect solution. a lot of wood and not a lot of accessible upholstery & very reasonably priced (a leather version at a competitor was $700). our pets have destroyed our previous expensive, custom pieces.  In addition, they are comfortable and sharp looking (maybe a little office like). dear Wayfair, can i suggest some additional upholstery options & an ottoman.
