I was in search of a modern set of chairs for my dining room. These chairs looked great in the picture, and the product I received matched what I saw. After having them for a while, I have two reservations: it is a low back, which doesn't give the same stately feel for formal dining, and the faux leather surface does not feel natural. I think these are great kitchen dining chairs, but for formal dining, you may wish to look at other designs. Despite my reservations, I will be buying a second pair.
