They steady but hard a little bitI love how comfortable and easy to move around they are, especially with the sliders on the feet.Looks great with my dining room set, and slides close into my table, which makes more walking room around the table. I would definitely recommend these chairs.When I ordered these chairs I was attracted to the price and the look. They look very contemporary look in my small apartment. The recommended weight was 250 and under. I am 6'2" and weigh 230 so I figured it would be fine. After about my 7th time sitting on it, it broke. The manufacturer was nice enough to send me a replaced cushion assembly where it was broken and the repair was easy. So no issues and its a nice chair but know that it may not be good for a full size man like myself...fine for women or petite Italian guys.You'd think this would be easy to assemble. But one of two chairs did not have 'a center receiving nut' to secure the back of the chair seat. Both pair of side bolts were secured (on both chairs), and on the first chair the center back bolt screwed in tightly. But in the second chair the receiving nut was missing (flaw in the manufacturing process). I am sure that chair will wear on first.These chairs were exactly what I was looking for, both in size and design. They replace other chairs I had around the dining room table. They have clean lines, look classy, but not stuffy and they are comfortable. I did not assemble them, but it seemed to be a bit complicated, hence the 3 stars for that.We ordered 3 sets and they assembled well, were a little smaller that we thought they'd be but they're good for our purposes - a work office conference table that will only get occasional use. They're pretty firm, really nice subtle pattern on the grey fabric, really like the look.However, one of them was damaged, the bolt hole on one of the legs was not aligned or drilled properly so the bolt didn't align correctly and pushed through, the chair then broke when sat in it - and it wasn't a large person who sat in it. They were quick to authorize the return BUT as of right now they are expecting us to pay the return shipping. We should not have to pay for the shipping on a item that was damaged or broken through no fault of our own. I've emailed them via Amazon to question this policy and we will see what happens.I liked this product but I wish the screws fit better in the wholes so that I didn’t have to put so much pressure into them.Very easy to put together and very sterdy! Happy with the product!
