For my purpose these chairs are perfect. They fit well in my dining nook - not too bulky nor too small. The description says they will support 300 lbs and though we may not need that much support they are very sturdy for smaller chairs. I was concerned that the metal backs would be uncomfortable, but that isn’t the case. The only drawback that I see is that the backs do tilt back considerably so leaning against the chair back while eating is out for most people. Assembly was very easy.
