We have an eat-in kitchen, but the area is a bit small, so we were looking for chairs that had a slightly smaller profile and these are perfect. We were skeptical that the structure would be solid but after receiving them, I'm glad we took a chance. The back and back legs have been pre-assembled, and I think that makes a big difference, so you're assembling the seat and front legs only. There's a clever area under the seat that has velcro, and I think this is a great place to hide cash or other valuables! The hardware was actually stored there during shipping, but the velcro allows you to cover the area again or remove it if necessary. Also, the fabric and stitching look very sleek, and it's easy to clean. Although the fabric looks dark chocolate in the picture, it seems a bit closer to black, even up against our black table, which I'm really happy about. I think these would match a mahogany finish or black. The only drawback is that if you're a tipper (leaning back in the chair), you're going to be disappointed because they're not quite sturdy enough to handle that with a heavy person.

These chairs go fine with our current set of chairs when we need an extra pair

I love the chairs - they look and feel great to sit in. Only problem was getting the screws to "bite" when putting them together. Took more time than I was willing to put in. But I'm happy with the outcome.
