The chairs are comfortable for sitting no longer than a hour, but they do have a good shape to them.  The table is sturdy and all three pieces are attractive to our setting. Assembly of table and chairs is easy, but use your own tools, the wrench supplied stripped out as soon as I put pressure on the nut and the screwdriver twisted inside the handle. A plus is that all the legs for the chairs and table come with adjusting feet to make sure that the you are level or at least not rocking back and forth. I would recommend this Bistro set.
