UPDATE: We've had these chairs less than a year and we've had to replace them. They wobble round and round and we can't figure out how to get them tightened back up without welding them.

We really like these chairs. My husband is 225 lbs and he doesn't shy away from them. I especially like the black frame. You can't see any grime on them. The only negatives I have would be that another reviewer said the color was more "greige" then beige, but in my opinion that's false. They are definitely beige. That, and if you sit for an extended period the buttons on the bottom kind of start being a little uncomfortable on the duff. It also appears that some of the buttons are a little loose already, but twisting them seemed to snap them back in place. They are very inviting -- we sit on them ALL THE TIME, regardless of all the other seating nearby.
