These were ordered for our mid-century seating area and they fit fine. Putting it together was relatively easy but does make it easier if you have two people to put together. The wood is definitely sturdy as are the cushions. The seat height is fine for us but they’re somewhat lower than other chairs and do have a slight slant to them which may not be ideal for older folks. We’ve sat on the chair a few times and it feels comfortable. They are not in a high traffic area of our home so we think they’ll do just fine. The materials on this chair are durable.
