These chairs receive a mixed review at our house. They were very easy to assemble and are quite stable. The backs are more reclined than we like, giving little back support unless you're leaning back in them. There is little to no padding in the seat. The "leather" upholstery isn't slick, so you don't slide into them. With the curved seat sides (which I like, but others did not), comments were made that it is awkward to get on and off the chairs as the upholstery material grabs your pants with friction. It's hard to please everyone!
