I got these chairs to use at my table until my kids (ages 2, 4, & 7) are old enough to not destroy my real ones. They are surprisingly sturdy, stable, and a good weight. The jury is still out on how they'll hold up, but they were easy to put together and look great. I can imagine that I'll have an issue with getting food stuck behind the cushion, but I'll deal with that as it becomes an issue. 

Overall these chairs were a great deal and I may even be back for two more.
