I love these, they are comfortable, affordable, and unobtrusive.  Like some other reviews I saw, I was a little nervous about them not being sturdy enough but I don't find that to be an issue at all.  The footrest is fine for me; it is for resting your feet, not standing on with all your body weight.  The backs are high enough that you are supported and not getting that achy back, annoying 'you're on a bar stool, sit up straight' factor.  I am really glad I didn't go for the crazy-expensive metal leg ghost chairs from CB2.  I was set on something that would not add any visual clutter to my NYC apartment and was not disappointed with this choice.
