I love these chairs! The whole set is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted something for my formal dining area. I wanted the look to be sort of farmhouse or traditional, but I didn't want it to be too fancy. Something classic and casual, but something that also looks a little nicer than your breakfast nook. I love the cushions! They are firm and I think that's what makes these chairs stand out and give it a little more formality to the set. Plus, they are really easy to put together! I am still adding chairs to our set, (we currently have 4 and the table we bought seats 8) so we will definitely be buying more of these chairs!
