I bought 4 of these chairs to replace my dining room chairs of 30 years. Couldn't find a chair in any of the 4 stores that I went to, that I liked or came close to matching the wood of the original chairs. I thought I might make a brave change and i wasn't disappointed. The chairs took me a lot longer to put together than some of the other people claimed, probably 45 minutes to an hour each. The vinyl is heavy and a beautiful maroon color .the chairs are very comfortable, well padded, and slide easily over my tile floor. Would definitely recommend these chairs.
