These were purchased as guest chairs in front of the desk in an office and they add just the casually sophisticated vibe that I was going for! I like that they are sturdy and reasonably comfy, and find I don’t mind the slight backward slope of the seat or that the seat may be just a couple of inches lower than what you would typically want in this setting. Overall, I am pleased with these chairs, especially at the price point I paid. I could not give them 5 stars because the first pair I received both had damage on the wood frames down to bare wood in 2-3 places each- in spite of being completely wrapped in foam and securely esconced in boxes that had not sustained any damage! True to their first-rate customer service, Wayfair sent replacements which were much better. One still had a mark but it was in an inconspicuous spot in the back of the chair frame and I can live with it.
