Overall, I really like these. I was replacing a similar set of chairs and I think these will work well for us. The bonded leather is very soft with a bit of a matte finish. The upholstery is nicely done. They are solid, although lighter weight than I expected, and the seat is a bit smaller than I thought it would be. This isn’t a negative for us, but I would take this into consideration if I was a larger person. The primary issue I have is that the foot rest is an inch or two too high. We are tall, so it feels a bit unnatural to rest our feet so high. On the positive side, I have young kids, and these seem like they are going to work well. I’ve had to wipe up some sticky messes and so far, so good.
