We love these chairs. We are in a season of toddler life and so we wanted chairs that could make our space beautiful, yet functional and also somewhat kid-friendly. With the style we chose for our home, these chairs work great in any room as a decor piece or as functional dining chairs. The frame and legs are black metal and the saddle seat is engineered wood, but feels durable. Review the assembly instructions because we made the mistake of piecing it together just by the eye, but there are certain legs that match the bottom of the chair to keep it from being uneven. Great price to achieve that farmhouse look!
