The chairs are exactly what I wanted. Compact, but roomy. Gorgeous color (deep red). Light weight and easy to move, but sturdy and comfortable. Some folks may want a little pillow behind their lower back for extended sitting (my husband has a bad back and for hours of sitting he needs one, I don't) as there is no lumbar support, but the seat cushion is great (no sore, tired butt!). The seat is low, but perfect, for me, for sitting in to read or chat (I have a 32" inseam and found them to be an ideal height for crossed and uncrossed legs). I highly recommend them.
