They feel nice and sturdy, I weigh 200lbs and feel very comfortable in the chairs. I'm happy with the look of them. Up close they look a little "cheap" but i'm not even sure if "cheap" is the right word, as they are definitely not... The material used looks and feels distressed, but they've also tried to "paint" it to look even more distressed, which is why I say it looks kind of "cheap"... For the price, these chairs are amazing, they look beautiful, feel good and are quite comfortable! I wouldn't hesitate to order them!
