I adore these chairs.  They're so pretty, I can't stand it.  When I ordered them, I decided that it was totally irrelevant if they were hard as a rock and miserably uncomfortable.  I would love them anyway because of how cute they were.  But when I got them, they actually felt like my regular chairs - somewhat firm and structured.  They're not like a lounge chair.  Don't plan to nap in them.  But for a dining room chair, they're fine.
