I purchased these for a small sitting area and they look beautiful! I haven't set for a long period in them so I can't tell you how comfortable they are beyond a few minutes. I did have an issue with one of my chairs not swiveling as well as the base of both chairs being bent which probably was the reason one of them would not swivel at all without some tweaking to the base. Wayfair shipped a replacement chair to me within a week. I would definitely say that the pricer barrel chairs on Wayfair are better quality so you do get what you pay for. I have a set of barrel chairs I ordered from Wayfair months earlier in which one chair was the price of this set and they were flawless from unboxing. However if you do want a great look and you're on a budget these are fine! My guest compliment them immediately when walking in the door. They love this spot!
