These chairs are absolutely stunning in navy. The velvet is soft and luxurious. The buttons appear to be secure, and the stitching on the two I received isn't visible as others have mentioned. They are small, which is exactly what I needed for side chairs in my home office; however, I can understand why some have said they are too small for dining room chairs. They seem to be sturdy, of good quality, and comfortable -- my husband, who is 210 lbs. and approx. 6' tall, sat down in one and immediately said, "ooooohhhh, feels good on my tushie" (he said this with humor but his assessment was honest). Mine won't get much regular use as home office side chairs; so, I can't speak to how comfortable they would be for long periods of being seated, but they seem like that wouldn't be a problem. I really love these chairs. I just wish I had more places to put them because I'd definitely buy more.
