Love these chairs! Exactly as pictured  they have some weight to them. The cane is better quality than the chairs I bought  returned at Crate  Barrel. I bought 6 chairs, one set did arrive with the cane much more yellow than the others but the exchange was very easy  they made it right quickly  easily. I get so many compliments on these chairs! They are a little pokey, but that’s the nature of the cane. I have two younger kids and they are used to them already.
