I really liked the looks of these chairs, was an exceptionally good deal on them, so I just bit the bullet and ordered.  They came over a week ahead of schedule - I got them together and placed where I wanted them - OMG I LOVE them.  Not ONLY are they beautiful, but comfortable.  I could have looked for a year and NEVER have been as pleased with another selection.  OH and NOTICE the Chic arm protectors!!!!  ;-)
