Oh, my, these are lovely.  Even a fancy relative was impressed.  The wood is richly colored (a bit lighter than walnut, but it works with my walnut table nevertheless), the cushion is thick, and the slats have a graceful curve that makes these chairs surprisingly comfortable.  They're simple to put together (tedious, of course), although the otherwise-clear diagram makes some deep screw-holes (which won't concern you) look like they're surface screws, so don't get confused by that.  I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the patient, courteous customer service I got when I called with that bit of confusion.  (Tip:  After chairs and tables are assembled, I like to put a square of 1/4"-thick self-adhesive felt on the bottom of each leg.)  I am quite pleased with this purchase.
