They are beautiful, comfortable and sturdy. They do have a bit of an odor, but it does go away after about a week. They don’t seem to necessarily need a cushion, although we are still awaiting the new table from Wayfair to actually sit long enough to know. This chair is a bit more on the tan side than the picture shows. I was considering the Felicity chair that appeared to be more yelloworangy in color. I wanted the tan. Very happy with these chairs!
