Very sturdy, heavy, solid wood chairs. They're beautiful as is, but I will stain them. They have a wide seat, which could be a positive or a negative, whichever way you choose to look at it.  They do fit underneath my current table, but are a tighter fit than my old, smaller chairs since they're bigger and wider.  I would measure before purchasing. But I am very happy overall. They do not wobble. They're comfortable. They're beautiful. Would highly recommend!
