Really disappointed with these.  They are NOT comfortable.  The seats are not "firm."  They're hard.  For an upholstered chair, pretty bad to be this hard.  The shiny brass legs combined with the fabric is not good.  It's less of a velvet and more of a low-pile micro-suede.  I ordered them to go with a gold pedestal table.  Now I have to go through the cost and hassle of shipping the item.
