These chairs are great to look at from a distance. Elegant with a very sophisticated look. They are not meant for comfortable sitting. More for posing. The packaging they were shipped in was horrendous. I ordered 2 chairs and exchanged 2 chairs. Wayfair was great during the process however the 2 replacement chairs while close to perfect were not. I decided to keep them because the blemishes are not enough to make me want to give them up but they were not inexpensive and the quality could be way better.
