I like using the items for awhile before I write a review.  I've had these chairs for about 10 months.  The swivel on the chairs are very, very hard to turn.  I'm not sure why; I still haven't had time to troubleshoot it, but hopefully some extra oil or something will help.  The chairs itself are a bit on the heavy side, but I like that.  It makes the chairs feel sturdy.  I do love the fabric on the chairs, an oatmeal color, although I do wish it was a bit softer.  It feels a bit on the rougher side but not too much where it's uncomfortable.  The cushions are comfortable enough for long periods of sitting.
