I can't say enough good things about these chairs.  They are really strong and so comfortable.  I wanted chairs that would be cat friendly so that I wouldn't
have upholstered arms ripped to pieces.  Yet I wanted them to be like a comfortable strong upholstered chair and not be flimsy.  I checked the weight capacity and it is greater than many chairs, so is very safe in that way.  My neighbor tested it for comfort and loves it.  I love the design also, the clever way they wove cord into the wood gives it more interest.
