These chairs are very nice. The legs are black and not the brown color in the picture, which worked out to my benefit because I actually have an Ebony stained wood stable. The chairs are actually quite firm, but not in a bad way. They are not pillow soft, but do have a good deal of cushion and are nice to sit on. I have had ultra soft cushioned chairs and couches before and found that they go flat after time, so I highly recommend these chairs. The assembly was easy enough, and I had no issues with any of the chairs being wobbly. Once I get more money I am definitely buying another pair!
