We weren't sure how comfortable these would be but thought the styling/pricing was worth the risk.  It is VERY comfortable but those in the heavier build category probably wouldn't find these sufficiently "ample."  I am 210 lbs and that is probably close to what these would be suited for.  They are well-built and relatively easy to assemble.  The only small negative was the plastic feet on the wood legs.  We removed them they were quite small and made an irritating noise when the chair was moved.  The felt pads we glued on work well.
