I love these chairs! They remind me of vintage chairs I've seen from the 1940's.  They are sturdy and very well made.  They do arrive without the legs attached but they are very easy to put together in less than 10 minutes.  They're comfortable but provide enough support so that they are perfect for using around a table.  I have mine flanking my china cabinet but add them to the sides of the table, along with some other chairs, when entertaining guests.  They go beautifully with the Maria Side Chairs I have at the head of the table.  These would work well in a living room as well.
