We are absolutely thrilled that we decided to get this chair (bought 4) after a long search/wait for something  that is stylish and complementing our modern mid-century dining table. The seat width measurement though is only 17.5" and not 19" as indicated in the description. So for those thinking of buying this chair, this is merely a precise width of the seating area and for people of wider girth this might be somewhat confining. But still, this is a sturdy, well made and definitely gorgeous chair!
