These are nice chairs but they are made to have a full cushion for seat and back not just a lumbar cushion that they come with which is useless.  I purchased a high back dining chair cushion 4.5 x 21 x 44 and it makes all the difference in the world in how you sit in it.   Very comfortable with the cushion - you can sit and read or converse and you can get out of the chair easier.  Picture shows with the cushion and without the cushion.  There are a few other reviews that have shown the chair with the same type of cushion. The picture was taken after I oiled the wood which gives the wood a richer color and protects it.  I used Danish oil.  It was easy to put together - just follow instructions.
