These chairs seem be excellent quality. The wood stain and finish, folding mechanism and upholstery are top notch. The chairs are sturdy and comfortable. I had intended to store them folded in a closet and bring them out when I needed extra seating, but they are so attractive I am leaving them out full time. The wood color and cloth blend well with my decor. My rating is four stars not five because there is a small, barely noticeable imperfection in the wood frame (where a flaw might have been filled before finishing?) on the back of one of them.
