The shape is perfect, formal looking; great fabric and color (Linen). These chairs look great at a dining table but definitely could be used in living/den area.  The only thing from a quality standpoint that I didn't like is the seat is a bit firmer in a 'foamy' way.  It seems firm but once you sit, it totally gives making the linen pucker a bit; concern is with wear that the foam/cushion will lose shape and have puckered/saggy fabric - time will tell!
