These chairs are so comfortable and look exactly as they were presented in the product photos. Assembly was straightforward, nothing too complicated. The seat itself feels very sturdy. I ordered two chairs, the first one is perfect, the second one is ALMOST perfect, the rear left leg seems to be sitting shorter than is intended by a millimeter or two - nothing dramatic, but enough to notice when you first sit in it. That was a bummer, but was easily remedied with a furniture dot. Although annoying, it's not a deal breaker and I still love these enough that I would have no second thoughts about ordering more if the occasion ever arose.
