I bought 4 chairs in gray cracked ice pattern with the 2" seats to match the table my parents bought in 1950. I had planned to buy new seats and backs for the chairs that came with the original table, but the backs would have been a nightmare to change out. Also, buying the complete chairs was cheaper than buying four sets of new seat/back replacements. The chairs are very sturdy, comfortable and look just like they belong with the table.
