There were no reviews before I purchased these chairs, I like to hear from others about their thoughts. I do like these chairs very much. They are made for adults to sit in and feel comfortable. The seat cushion is very firm at first but gives after awhile. They seem to be very well made. The velvet material is nice to touch! The color dark blue is not quite as dark as I was expecting but getting use to it! Be warned they have to be fully assembled. My husband had no problem, done in thirty minutes.
