the chairs are hefty, strong and well made. The colored boards of reclaimed wood were refurbished so well. Construction is outstanding. However, the seats of the chairs are so slanted to the back that you could never use these at a table, nor in a restaurant as the description states. On top of that disappointment the 4 chairs were poorly packaged into one makeshift box. The shipping company opened the package outdoors because it was so dented and torn that he was sure they were damaged. I sent the delivery back and signed that I refused to accept the delivery. I can not imagine that any household would be able to receive the chairs packed as they were. One chair per box is the only sensible way to ship such large, heavy chairs. I am disappointed because the chairs are representative of superlative craftsmanship
