We love these chairs, they are exactly what our living room needed. Yes, like others have said, the seat is very firm but that's okay with us. My husband put both of them together in about 30 minutes or so. We bought the turquoise blue and they are a bit brighter color than what they photos show...very pretty. I'm not crazy about the style of the legs but after looking for weeks for just the right chairs, these are as close as it gets!
