I bought six of these chairs.  They're GREAT!  They're big and sturdy and look just as shown on the web site.  Though some of my guests don't appreciate the distressed look, I LOVE it.  The white finish is dull (described as a chalk finish).  In the future I may (or may not) add a coat of clear polyurethane.  Because the seats are so big I have had problems finding the right chair pad.
