The chair is really nice and sturdy.  I wasn't sure if the color would match our table, but it ended up looking great with the table.  We started with 2 chairs and quickly added 8 more.  It also appears to be a very sturdy chair.  We my add some seat cushions, but even without them the chair is very comfortable.  We can't wait to use the chairs and table at our first large gathering which will be my daughter's birthday party in August.  I'm sure our Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings will be a hit because of our dining room chairs.
