These seem pretty sturdy and were easy to put together.  The color (cherry) is really not cherry at all, more of a brownish tan but I was okay with it.  I was hoping the color would be more cherry.  The cushions are pretty hard, not cushy at all but, again, I'm okay with that because we actually rarely use the dining table.  I got them to replace some solid fake leather chairs which got destroyed by my cats!  I needed wood chairs and not something they could use as scratch posts.  These chairs best matched the table and I'm pretty satisfied with them.
