These chairs are comfortable, pretty, very sturdy, and should last a lifetime. They turned out to be of a better quality than I had expected. These are not your typical folding extra chair. The height is good to use as an extra dining chair. The wood is dark and the upholstery is neutral and very pretty....they will go with anything when an extra chair is needed. I have other metal based, padded folding chairs but had I known how nice these side chairs were, I would have purchased more of these instead. Pros: See the review above. Cons: None so far
