We absolutely love the look of these chairs. It is everything we're looking for, style-wise. The blue is a little brighter (less denim, more dark teal) than we were expecting, but works with our house. However, they seem a little flimsy for every day use by people bigger than 150 lb. We will use them in our dining room, where they will be used more sparingly, as opposed to our kitchen, where we hoped to use them.
