I bought these for my son's NYC studio.  He needed something comfortable that would not take up too much space.  These are perfect!  They are comfortable - which is very important since he has limited seating in the space.  They were easy to put together and are sturdy.  The faux leather is perfect for spills etc, but the seats do not make the annoying noise that some inexpensive chairs have when you sit down.  I would have bought more, but he only had room enough for two chairs.  He has been using them for 6 months now and they are holding up great.
