They are as expected, very cute, great mid century modernindustrial look. They are pretty sturdy, and the velvet is soft and very retro looking, but if you’ve got kids or will be highly used, may want to throw something over them while in use. I get the feeling they’ll show spills. I put them with an industrial looking table from Wayfair and the look is perfect. Don’t pair them with anything too “chunky” or sizable, because they’ll look puny.
All in all, good purchase.
