Love these chairs! I've been searching for dining room chairs for 6 months. I wanted something that complimented our dining room table, while having a clean, sleek look to them and a small footprint. These are it! The chairs are sturdy and well constructed. While they are padded, these are not cushy chairs, though they are comfortable. The backs are sturdy and don't have much bounce to them. The fabric feels nice. I would definitely recommend.
