I love the look of the chairs! Used in a transitional setting. The were easy to assemble. One got stuck in the fully extended position and it took the strength of a man to push it into a lowered height, I, a woman could not. Love the swingle ability. They are comfortable for young and older people of multiple heights and weight. The base is not as thick and heavy, making moderately sturdy. The price is right. The blue matches my color scheme wonderfully. Adds the touch of color to a neutral color scheme.
