The chairs are a bit more cheaply made than they appeared to be in the photos. They present a bit of a challenge to manage the height. They will only descend when being sat on. They are set up near a kitchen Island and with only minimal use the "leather" is beginning to separate at the stitching in one (of 3) of them. The wood is beginning to chip a bit,as well. I had expected a higher quality product. On the positive side, they look handsome in the room.
