These chairs are beautiful. I was concerned they would be off balance once I finished attaching the legs, but the feet on the bottom are height adjustable with a simple twist up or down. My wonderful husband discovered this for me because it’s not in the instruction manual anywhere. The assembly was very simple and I’m not really talented at putting things together. So if I can do it anyone can.-haha The instructions were pretty simple to read and there is a picture to follow as well which I really liked. The cushions are nice and firm and I imagine they will soften over time.  The back sits pretty straight which is a plus for me so it’s better for posture. These make great chairs to sit and have a cup of coffeetea, enjoy quiet time, read your favorite book and have conversations with friends when they visit. I’m very pleased with my purchase and would purchase these chairs again.
