It's always hard buying a chair on line without being able to sit in it or see it in person.  I went out on a limb and bought 8 of these chairs.  They arrived a day early..so only 2 days to ship them to me which is outstanding!!  I opened one box to see if I would like them, and I feel in love with them.  They are built really well and seem to be really sturdy.  The colors are wonderful and look just like pictured.  I am not super impressed with the cushion but seems to be comfortable and I feel I can always replace the cushion if need be.  I am going to wait till after the holidays to see if everyone is comfortable during dinner.  I have had several people see them and absolutely love them.  If you are thinking of this style chair, please give them a try! I am sure glad I did! As far as comfort I would rate them a 8 out of 10, only because I love a lot of cushion or they would be 10.
