Great chairs. Great packaging. These chairs are exactly as pictured, sturdy, attractive and a good value. Actually, they look more expensive than they are, classy.  We put them together in a short time--not difficult if you follow instructions. We've received quite a few compliments on them. I'd been looking for something different, something made of metal. These are an understated grey steel. They seats have a back, which everyone in family insisted they wanted. They swivel and they don 'to scratch the floor. After searching for 4 months-- glad I waited until I found exactly what I liked.
