We were looking for a chair that was not too high-backed. These are perfect & as described. Great for the price. The finish doesn't look high end, but I wasn't expecting that. It's perfect for our dining area. One of the seats in the two chair set arrived damaged and I'm working to get the replacement now. Not too hard to put together-- you just have to understand that "L" and "R" are based on you looking at the chair.
