I took a long time deciding to get these chairs. I needed 4, which is a large investment. I read every review. I ordered around 20 fabric swatches and finally decided on the Tina Indigo (poly velvet). I have 3 kids, a dog, and a cat. I wanted a fabric that would clean well and feel luxurious. I smeared barbecue sauce and milk on the fabric and let it dry before cleaning it. Everything came off well. (I did this with the Empire Indigo, which also cleaned up well) We decided on the Tina Indigo because it didn't have grooves for particles to get trapped in. I love these chairs! They are large enough for me to curly up (I'm 5'7") but have a compact footprint. Seams/fabric smoothness is a little less than perfect on close inspection but I doubt anyone will notice. I would still buy them again!
