These chairs really put the finishing touches on our dining room.  Although they are taller than most dining chairs, they are lightweight and easy to move. Putting them at the ends of a longer table "caps off" the table nicely.  The fabric is actually a weave of black and cobalt blue threads, so from a few feet away, it matches Benjamin Moore's "Van Deusen Blue" paint chip, which is what we painted a side table.  Seat is comfortably firm, but deep, so we added a small accent pillow to bring in a pattern.  Love them!
