These chairs are beautiful.  Very classy and well made. The pads with ties are darker than they appear in the picture, but that was not a problem with my decor.  I don’t know how durable the woven sea grass would be with daily use or with small children.  It makes a bit of a crunching sound when you sit on it and the weave would likely be hard to clean if small children were to touch it with sticky hands.  My chairs are going in a dining room where they’ll be used only a few times a year- more decorative than anything- so they are perfect for my needs.  They were well packaged.  The boxes arrived torn and wet leading me to think the chairs were ruined, but each chair and each leg was individually wrapped so they were in perfect condition.
