Stable, sturdy, shouldn’t blow around in typical TX wind, and very comfortable! Granted, one sits up a little straighter with less back leaning, but these chairs are perfect for our patio dining table. Easy to assemble (5 minutes each chair), and all hardware/tool provided. Hoping to use them Thanksgiving Day for an outside meal. If you like the mid-century appeal, you will like these chairs. Will probably order two more, maybe even in a black color.
