The chairs look beautiful, but are painfully scratchy to sit on. My six year old grandchild sat on the chair for less than a minute and complained the chair was too hard and felt like there were slivers. I bought a pillow to place on the chair seat, but it takes away from the elegance. The box they came has been taken away by the garbage truck so I am not sure how to return them. A lot of money for uncomfortable chairs that I would be embarrassed to use for company.
