These chairs are great - Just what I wanted.  They are sturdy, and  seem well built but most important for me, they are the same height as those of my dining table.  I will not hesitate to use them for dining when we need more seats.  Good deal.  
My husband said a little hard to unfold, but is they don't loosen up - We will put them downstairs with a blanket over them
