Sturdy, pretty, and extremely easy to put together. These recline a little more than most dining chairs for a more relaxed feel. I hope they don’t show scratches easily, but the feeling of the material is so soft, looks like it would be easy to clean, and the threading quality is better than expected! Does not look sloppy like some other chairs in this price range. Only reason for 4 stars is I wish the cushion was a tiny bit softer but it is the best I’ve found and doesn’t have the “beads” feel like other chairs (especially velvet) have.
