After finally settling on these chairs I am happy with the purchase - they go great with our industrial style table! We sat on a lot of metal and wood chairs at boutiques and shops.. we didn’t find any of them comfortable so we were hesitant to order dining chairs online. We were pleasantly surprised to find these more comfortable than others, and all metal too! The metal is a little cooler than wood which was one of my thoughts on buying metal chairs.. so we may get a cushion to  use now and then.. definitely not a deal breaker though! Love them!
