I bought 8 of these to go with my Magnussen Bellamy wood dining table and they are PERFECT. They were a snap to assemble and they are very comfortable. If you are like me and are hesitant at buying "blue velvet chairs" (sounds a bit crazy, I know) but they are more of a grey-blue and not an obnoxious or obvious blue at all. They look fantastic in my home even though blue isn't my primary or secondary color. My opinion may be different if they were in the direct sunlight, however (I didn't check). Also, the seats are wide and the cushion is thick. The top flairs out just enough to add additional style. I'm extremely pleased!
