I really love the design of these chairs.  I purchased 10 for our modern industrial farmhouse.  They were easy to assemble - each one took me about 15-20 minutes to assemble.  They are made of metal except for the seat.  I feel this makes them more durable in my opinion.  I have three teenagers and 2 toddlers - and these chairs hold up to all the abuse.  :)  At this price, for the unique design, they are perfect for our home.  The design of the chair - the way it naturally leans back - makes it really comfortable to sit in which we also love.
