I bought these on a whim after the caning on one of my inherited hostess chairs broke. I was pleasantly surprised at how well the slipcovers fit, giving the chair a pretty structured look but modern look. The back of the chair was a bit higher than I anticipated and I may need to purchase more substantial chairs for my guests to balance the height of these chairs. Regardless, I love the look and they are pretty comfortable to boot. The only downside - my cat thinks the chairs are her scratching posts.
