The chairs are sturdy with firm but comfortable cushions.  The only beef with these chairs is the assembly.  Only 6 screws each, but they didn't align well and took some serious elbow grease.  Almost quit and sent them back.  Glad I didn't!  If you like to move around, they are not hard to move or overly heavy.  Recommend a 6x18 or 6x24 accent pillow for lumbar or side.  Certainly enhanced the comfort level to plush and along the lines of chairs 2x the cost.  Another recommendation is an ottoman.  Once added, all that is needed is a beverage and a nap.
